Hello All,

Please humor my way off topic request, but I have gotten lots of good advice from this board and I figured here is as good a place to start as any.

I have a '91 Jetta Gli 2.0 16V with only 104K miles on it. It needs new shocks and struts. I want to get the handling as close to stock original with the least cost. What brand of shock/strut should I look at and what should I expect to pay?

Thanks for humoring me and thanks for your help.

- Joe
