Read through many of the surplus of threads on this but still a little confused.

I need to replace rear shocks on my project - the fronts (Boge) look like they may still have some life in them. I plan to place a WTB for used shocks but want to educate myself first. I'd like to restore original ride on the car and would gladly install a new pair of Boge/Sachs if they were still available. From the best I can tell Bilstein HD are the closest to stock ride comfort and performance for new shocks. True? And would Bilsteins in the rear play nice with Boge inserts up front? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Depending on answers about how Bilsteins compare with OEM ride, I might just go that route to get on a migration path to Bilsteins on all corners. Mostly just looking to experience what one of these cars was like when new - a fun and comfortable pleasure driver I can toss in the twisties on occasion but don't want to spend a fortune as this car is already claiming its share of my income.
