Not sure why, but I’m finding my new bilsteins just a bit too hard (firm!) work....
Miss the suppleness of the original boges (before they leaked).... Does anyone have some advice, or ideally a set of original spec boges, for front and rear? I’m in london, UK but I can wait! Thanks Alex |

It makes a difference if you're using the Bilstein, Koni or Boge/Sachs Track or Street flavors. It the Bilsteins that you've got are the track, then they won't ride as comfortably on street & DD use.
You might try the Koni street as they were very nice riding with just the right handling resistance for me over the last +/- 20K miles of my `73 2L's total 172K miles - with all the rest with the stock original Boge/Sachs shocks/struts. If you can find a full matched date set of the old school Koni "Reds" street shocks & struts, then those can be rebuilt by Koni to as-new spec. Cheers Mate!

All parts are available new. As well as the perches but they are 65 dollars each. I have a roller car that might have the lower perches. Most used Boge shocks are well worn. Bruce |
