Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"

Hi all,

I have a 88 Wolfsburg, and need new shocks. I usually donšt haul heavy stuff around. Once in a while I have 2 passengers in the rear seats but mostly itšs myself and friend out for a country drive.

I am looking for something will be cushy on the highway yet can take some good country road bumps here and there.

I am interested to here your recommendations, also wondering if they have adjustable shocks that I can adjust for how much weight I have in the van. What kind of price can expect to pay for a set of 4?

Is mixing and matching bad?

If you recommend a mix, that the best? I assume firmer in the rear, cushier up front?

Thanks in advance. -- Rob NYC/Long Beach, NY 88 Wolfsburg, Silver
