    Default Struts and shocks?

    If i bought new struts and shocks for my VW Jetta, and use the stock springs will it remain the stock height, but perform decent, nothing crazy, just better around the town driving, my current rear struts are dying/dead

    What kinda struts/shocks did you get? If they are Kyb GR'2s, tokico hp's, or something like Monroes, then the car should stay the same hight. Did you change the mounts? How Old is the VW?

    yes it will remain the same height - will it perform better? Any quality shocks will be better than old/dead shocks - they range from aftermarket replacements like GR2 to performance shocks like AGX and Koni yellow.
    Please tell me if you think my car looks good. But don't tell me if you think it's ugly - only on IA
