Hello Wayne,

There are Bilsteins and Konis, but the Bilsteins are $135.00 each and the Konis are $230.00 each.

You can buy Monroe shocks and maybe Gabriels that are made in the USA or ?, but they are crap and don't last very long.

I prefer the European made shocks that Volvos still sells.

Apparently Monroe bought Boge, the original manufacturer of shocks for the older Volvos in Europe, so the European shocks now have Monroe labels, but they are still made to Volvo spec's and a full set of 4 Volvo OEM shocks costs way less than 2 of the Konis.
