EDIT : How much are you willing to spend there relatively cheap anyway

Shock absorber is the correct name for the spring

If your not after any specific improvements then stay standard, or if you want to mod for the sake of it (which is perfectly alright to do!) then just look for a good deal on any uprated shocks, might find a bargain!

The way to go!
I don't know if gti rear dampers are any better than ones from the 1.4 but definately look out for bargains. When you look on ebay, try alternate keywords when you search, you wouldn't beleive how people list SP arches as 'spats' and you would never find them otherwise
