What Golf is it Scott? I have a full set of shocks and spring from my gt done about 40k miles no leaks or rust,  and they are the earlier lower one's unlike some of the newer ones that look 2 mile high I would take £50 for the lot plus postage or you can collect which ever would be cheaper for you/him.

Yeah they're common on all cars.

The coldest week of the year is usually the time they snap.  They should be around £30 each from a motor factor.
