I'm afraid there's little point in trying to find OG shocks or even
anything that's "close." I have some aftermarket fronts, but no
rears. If you REALLY need new shocks, buy something that seems about
right off ebay. They'll probably be Beetle shocks, but you won't
notice any difference. You should replace them in matching pairs, but
there's no need to replace all 4 if 1 is bad.
Don't spend big bucks. You're not doing high performance off road
driving. I think you're likely to find something suitable for $30
each, or less.
Agreed. I'd probably get a pair of KYB Excel's from Rock Auto for the
rear. They're gas charged, so you don't want them on the front.
