"If I remember correctly years ago each strut was about 30 euros a pop so 80 USD for the set mmmm..."

If it's a wagon, the struts are not going to be $80 and it's going to be a lot more involved to drop the rear sub frame because of the SLS. Also, the rear wheel bearings in the wagons are PITA to get out because the bearing rollers are a larger diameter than the snap ring, so you have to pull the axle out of both inner races. There is no way to pull them with a slide hammer, ask me how I know.
