AAS (Auto Adjusting Suspension) 3 stage adjustable shocks with motor on top that adjusts damping. Super simple reliable system. OEM Front shocks on my car lasted til 300k km. Rear shocks lasted til 240k.
KYB GR-2 rear shocks to replace leaking originals - $115
KYBs cost only a little bit more than comparable Monroes, and in my experience they're a lot nicer than Monroes.
i had Konis, then Bilsteins, then KYB AGX on my 2004 jetta 1.8T. I liked the KYB AGX a lot, had no complaints. I kept stock springs.
To the OP, though the mfg recommends against using the AGX with lowering springs I have been very very happy with them on my MK IV wagon. Ride quality is basically OEM only becoming slightly harsher on MAJOR impacts ie, big ass potholes, NJ quality expansion joints. And this is with H&R Sports mind you.
i run brand new VW rear shocks with my H&R springs. i'm running KYB gas in the front. i'm very happy with them.
