So upon further inspection it appears that when I convert from the KYB/spring rear shock setup I currently have to the Boge/Sachs strut and new spring setup I WANT to have, I will need some parts:

From the PET they are (I believe):

#3 - 914 333 521 01
#4 - 914 333 503 00
#5 - 901 333 511 00
#6 - 914 333 053 01

I don't know about #2. There is no P/N referenced in PET that I can see. Is this all I need?

I may have those parts but I wont be able to check until Sat late morning.
I do believe that Boge is different from Sachs? If someone that knows for sure could chime in that would be great.

Thanks Luke. My understanding is they merged or the line was purchased and now they are Sachs-Boge.

Boge and Sachs are the sane company. I have those parts.

Make your shopping list for bruce/bdstone914. shock parts, trans parts, ect. Always a pleasure to buy from him.

I think I've bought at least one thing from him in the past, and you're right Mark. Easy doing business with him. I have already sent Bruce a PM

Hey Bruce
Are the spring hats and perches different sizes between Boge, Koni and Bilstein ? Point is will his current springs fit the hats.

I also need to dump the Kill Your Back rear shocks and may want to go sachs as I have them on the front.

How many of those spring perch sets do you have? Maybe you can take some to the phoenix club.

I don't HAVE spring hats/perches currently. They are integrated into the KYB shocks I am replacing and can't be removed (they're welded on). Realized that after I got one shock out of the car and compared it to the new shock I took out of the box. That was one of those Doh! moments

Bruce was able to find me items 3, 4, and 5 (I believe). Part 6 in the diagram above, 914 333 053 01, the rubber stop or spring, is NLA and he has none in stock. AA is advertising http://www.autoatlanta.com/results.php?partnumber2=R171412303C as a replacement. Anyone use this before or know if it will work?
