Boge shocks are good and oem for BMW.

 

The thing you need to ask yourself is how you are going to fit coils to your rear suspension when it has leaf springs from the factory?

have u dealt with boge shocks before?

[Felix]

They're in my E32 BMW. The car has awesome handling for its' size. The ride is firmish, yet compliant, and very sporting. The car has the factory sports suspension, so the shocks and springs are well matched.

 

Yea I'm impressed. When the shocks need replacing I'd go for more Boge's.

911's were also factory for a lot of years (70's) with Boge and as far as I know they are well regarded, although 911 owners looking for a sportier, stiffer ride will change them to the Bilsteins.

thanks for every1 input

 

how are there compared to munroe? about the same??

[Felix]

Do a search on google. You will find that Boge's are considered to be way better than Munroe and even KYB.

 

If you are going for a race/drift setup look at Bilsteins or Koni's, though expect to pay a LOT more.

I have boge VW MKI inserts in my ke20 struts and boge ke55 rear shocks in my ke20. Not on the road yet but it seems rock solid. The ke55 rear shocks are about 1 inch wider in diametre than the orininal ke20 KYB's that came out so that's a plus.

Though i'm led to believe KYB and Boge come from the same manufacturer but are sold by different distributors.
