  No offense but why do people think new shocks will cure a sagging 
rear or improve the ride height?  Sure it might temporarily, or a tad if 
you use gas shocks but the SPRINGS are what hold the ride height. 
Shocks are simply a dampener so you don't boing, boing, boing down 
the road.  If you're saggy then new springs along with the shocks 
might be a good idea.  :-)
  I'm thinkiing mine are a little low on oil and thus have a bouncy spot 
at the top of the travel.  Car tends to sway a bit too easily.  I'm inclined 
to look at Bilsteins too. 
 Not sure if they're still around but I got a fair deal on some Boge's for 
the 
Rabbit from R D Enterprises in El Cajon CA.  1-800-683-2890  (Keep their 
magnet on the side of the kitchen fridge!)  :-)
