The only difference is that the new ones don't have the VW/Audi >Logo on them. I paid $31.00 for the set. > Are these the OEM manufacturer (Sachs/Boge, but not labeled as such on the strut), or the Suspanders brand that has gotten some bad press on the list? (Be careful - both are German.) If they are not Suspanders, that's indeed a very good price. -Ron Salmon
