Flip,
Not disagreeing with the advice that's been stated regarding stock vs upgraded dampers.
However, I am not misrepresenting what was stated by ED. The email is very clear. Maybe they have changed their stance (no pun intended) since late February? Email below for reference, redacted for my privacy.

Hi xxx,
Thanks for the email. We recommend stock shocks/struts, and with 20k miles and no leaks, you should have plenty of life left in them. Hope this helps!

I've followed you guys on the forums for some time now, and I think I'm ready to pull the trigger on some mods for my GTI. I'm on factory springs/dampers at 20k miles. The install on these cars looks like a royal pain, so I'm not going to attempt it...and I only want to pay for it once. Do you recommend replacing the dampers now, or do they still have plenty of life left (assuming no fluid leaks, etc.)? If I should replace, what brand/model do you recommend?
Thanks in advance,
