Installed on my 2002 VW Jetta wagon and Golf. Then on my friends Jetta sedan after he felt the ride of my car. Great replacement for a much better than OEM ride shock. I do some SCCA solo autocross for fun while sticking to a tight budget. Limited lifetime warranty. Works great with Energy Suspension Bushings Kits. Made the cars handle better than when new. Most importantly, no more complaints from the wife, so now life is good.
