As long as they're gas charged &amp; have a warranty, it really doesn't matter, although I am a fan of high $ shocks myself...

A friend installed some Monroe shocks on his VW Passat (1992), and was very happy with it
But it might not make too much a difference

LOL! Not even close to being the same. I think my dad has $12 shocks on his truck. I have Tokico Illuminas on my Accord.
