Cofap is a name brand, you should be ok with those. I would spend the extra money on the KYB or Bilsteins.

Autohausaz has Sachs for $66 but I think the KYB's for 43 is the way to go.

I need to get new shocks for my 85 westy.  Does anyone have advice on where to get good ones for a cheap price?  Parts Geek has them for $27.95 each but that seems rather cheap to me, so I worry about the quality.  Do any of you have experience with Parts Geek?  Everyone seems to be selling the Gas-Adjust shocks from KYB.  I'm not sure what the difference is but they're all rather inexpensive.  Any input?  Thanks Steve
