I yanked my boges and put in new bilstein sports all around this past Nov. My boges were stamped 7/72 on the rears, car has an 8/72 karmann date and a 9/72 (1973 model year) on the black sticker in the doorframe.
The Boges were like mud. The bilsteins are rock hard. Had to reinstall my rear window just to knock off the rattle. And made sure the damn thing would not fall out!
