Default Blob *Widetrack* Replacment Shocks - Options Please

So like a billion others I've got the knocking rear shock problem.
The car's done 60,000 miles so I'm thinking I may just replace all 4 shocks and be done with it, but the issue appears to be that there are no OEM style shocks available from the usual suppliers.

Other than getting someone to strip and rebuild mine with grease fittings, what other options would those of you who've dealt with the same issue recommend?

I'm not interested in BC's as I had them with 5/4 springs on my old WRX bug and found them just too harsh for the roads near my folks; even on softer settings the car was nearly undriveable it was that bad.

I've been recommended Racing Logic coilovers which are apparently a tad better. I hear Teins are pretty hard too and more designed for Jap road conditions. Anyone else care to offer any suggestions?

Are there any places that service and rebuild the OEM shocks with replacement seals (which seems to be the problem with the original design)?

My budget's about £750 tops.
