Hello, all. My 1993 wagon (solid axle, not self-leveling) is in need of rear shocks. As far as I know the ones on it may be original (doubtful at 183K miles). I am not looking for performance, but rather decent handling, which the car definitely had before the shocks went south. Longevity is also an issue, but secondary. Price is important. I found Sachs at FCP for $44, Genuine Volvo at $65 (I believe the genuine Volvo are also Sachs, but not sure). I think I can save a few bucks on genuine Volvo ones at Tasca over FCP. Should I get Sachs, genuine Volvo or other?

TIA!
