I just picked up a 2000 black 5speed! I will post some pics as soon as I get it washed and detailed, but the ride is really rough. Is there a quick easy way that anyone knows of to figure out if the shocks are shot? Thanks for any help!

 

If the springs and shocks are both black and have the Audi/vw logo on them, most likely they are 8-9 year old stocks.
