I currently have a 06' GTI and the front struts have gone bad. I was quoted $1.2k for a replacement at a local VW dealership. I think that's absolutely ridiculous. So I'm looking into purchasing my own parts, and taking it to a different shop.
I have been thinking about lowering my car a little bit, so this might be the perfect time. What are some affordable struts/shocks/springs I can purchase? I'm not looking to take my car out on the track, so better handling/performance is not a priority. As long as handling is similar to the stock feel, that'd be great.
Alternatively, ff I wasn't to lower the car, what would be the cheapest (closest to OEM) struts I could purchase?
