Re: Suspension shot.

[Volkswagen Scirocco <my_scirocco@yahoo.com>]

When I got my 84' the strutts and shocks were
totally shot and the front driver side spring 
was busted, if cost me $1200 to get it all 
replaced with new stuff.

Mind you I went with slightly nicer than stock
struts and shocks.  So 500 bucks doesn't seem
too high if the shop is doing all the work and
its guarenteed for awhile (3 months or more at
least).  You could do it yourself for alot cheaper
I think.

    floormats, new wheels, and some interior
    mods).
