Rear shocks for most Beetles are all the same.... Common at Mick motors and most shops...
COFAP VW shocks will be much cheaper from a VW Parts shop...

Front shocks -- two different types for torsion bar suspension
COFAP Common at Mick Motors etc and other VW parts shops

and the SUPER BEETLES McPherson strut shocks which are special...
COFAP Common at Mick Motors etc

BUY from a VW shop otherwise You will Pay MUCH more...
for MONROE etc... shocks...

cheers
