Very impressive indeed! But I can tell you right now, VW OEM oil filled shocks will not make it too far past the warranty period. Not on our moon landscape roads here anyways..
Back when I was a teenager, I started driving with a VW Polo Sportline, and even though it was brand new, I had so many problems with that car. I believe you; I'm sure VW found a way to make them fail : )

Make no mistake, the shocks will get softer as you put miles on them. The stiffer it is to start with, the faster it will become noticeable. This is true for all shocks.
