Yeah, this is diy. If your going for the o.e. shocks do shox.com. I order all our bilsteins from them for customers. If you want the remote reservoir shocks I've found them cheaper online at andysautosport.

Not really unless you offroad. the remote reservoirs allow the shock to have more fluid to dissipate heat and longer travel to allow your suspension to fully articulate if you disconnect your sway bars. The basic b5? (yellow) numbered bilsteins will give you a great ride and are cheaper.

Thats the ones I just bought. They are 85 each at autoanything and they have 15% off, so 290.00/free shipping and no tax.
