Post by: Mikester on 23 February 2008, 00:24: i wuld think so, i need a new front one, but im just going to get standards, and save the pennies, rather than gettin coilovers or something. Unless money grows on trees?

Post by: boneybradley on 23 February 2008, 00:28: replace the shockers in pairs other wise it can effect stability!! and standard oil shockers are ok for driver models but for gti's you need gas!
