Message	The struts/shocks on my '91 TT are leaking in the front and "weak" in the back. The one shop I've taken it to quoted me $863 for a set of 4 struts. They claimed these were the Nissan OEM versions, but they said KYB. Is that right? Anyway I've been doing a ton of research here and elsewhere online. I've been looking at getting the KYB AGX Shocks and Eibach ProKit springs, since that's what most people recommend. However I don't particularly care about handling performance as I doubt I'll be taking the car to a track anytime soon. I don't think I would be interested in manually adjusting the shocks either. Is there a better solution for good price/performance for my situation?
