Explain the 300 dollar shock to me, What the... Options

An insert for 275? What and why? Is it just rarity? Some strange one off design that no other car uses?

I'm tired of my bone-shaking Bilsteins... Really, really tired...

Late last year, had to replace a broken front Koni (that came with the car), my guy here suggested replacing both sides with Bilsteins and I said OK... There were already Bilsteins in the rear when I got the car.

Me and everyone else who has ever ridden in this car agrees it's now way too stiff.

I was looking around for alternatives and found this:

Real Boge's?? Didn't know they were made anymore. Look reasonably inexpensive too... Unfortunately, the rears are listed as out of stock...

I know AA has remanufactured both front and rear (further up in this thread). Shipping of a couple of rears to this side of the pond would be pretty expensive, and there is always the question if they even accept things with pressurized gas... @dr914@autoatlanta.com : you said above that they were manufactured in England... Any way to get them directly here in the "old world"?

EDIT: just found there are also front and rear KYB units available here… worth a try?

Also, I have no idea which springs/torsion bars are actually on the car. How to tell?

TIA
