Bonnet / Hood dampers

I want to purchase some bonnet dampers to get rid of the garbage std stay that comes with the car, so I wanted to know what other people have bought & what your options are please?

Also the best place to buy.

Thanks,
Andy

Thank you for the help. There are so many options available, so I wanted to make sure I didn't end up buying a piece of junk that rusts to death in a month.

The brackets are fine with a couple of extra washers and about a third of the price.

I have some of the examples kw_21 recommends to shift. They're not bad for the price but the brackets are a bit 'flexible' if you don't align them properly on installation.
