I just swapped out my Shocks/Struts to Bilstein HD. Much to my surprise, one of my rear shocks clearly says "Boge Nivomat" right on it. I didn't think I had Nivomats.

It was riding kind of high before . . . but now seems about right. I can't help wondering if maybe someone retrofitted the Nivomats into the car and that's why it was riding a little high? Anyone have any experience here? I seem to recall hearing that the Nivomat wagons were spec'd with a softer spring out back to allow the Nivomats to do their trick and that you couldn't just "swap them out" . . . but that's what I just did.


Anyone have any thoughts on running Bilstein HD up front with Nivomats out back? Bad idea??
