I got kyb all around, its getting time to replace them. I have 8 shocks though so its probably going to be expensive. I can gladly use your input, before my wife kills me for spending more money on my toy.

I also run KYB on all 4 corners.

It is best to look in this thread:
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=488803
and post questions about shocks there.

It was started as a shocks reference thread and probably has the info you need.

X2 on the Fox 2.0's. Awesome shocks but not cheap.
I had mine revalved much softer for my buggy.

I run Fox 2.0's in front and 2.5's in the rear of my baja, however my new car will have 2.65 bilsteins, with 4 tube bypass in the rear. Already bought them cause I found a guy that lost interest in his project.

I run Bilstien shocks in the front and Rancho in the rear.

Same here but finding used ones is a good way to go i spent 150 for 11 inch rears with res,and 100 for the fronts for 8.5s.

So 250 for a full set and another 80 to have them valved for my buggy this made the ride really nice and set up for my driving.

330 total into shocks that are dialed for my buggy!
