You need to determine which is specced for your car. One is probably a Sport ride and the other Comfort.

Black is the Comfort shock, Green is the Sport shock.

I bought the black Bilstein comfort shocks, as fitted OEM to my 2001 VDP.

Fronts are very easy, rears are a bit of a pain.

The front shock plates were $46.00, the front Bilstein shocks were $215.00, the rear Bilstein shocks were $236.00, and the rear shock "donut" insulators were $65.00, so just over $500 for the complete job.

Fitting the fronts is about an hour per side for plates and shocks, the rears is about 3 hours per side.
