So trying to get a set of volvo rims got me kinda pissed off, so anywho i thought i'd worry about some problems that actually matter - like the original suspension in my 240 with 250,000 kilometers

Its the Boge turbo gas vs. the Bilstien HD's

the price difference between the two is night and day, IPD has the cheapest prices around, i even called alot of places in the Lower Mainland area here in British Columbia (bilstien's canadian distributer wanted close to $1000 for a set). IPD also has free shipping, so its a bonus both ways.

Bilstien HD's = 453 soemthing USD
Boge Turbo Gas = 205 USD

These are for a complete set of 4.

Everyone says Bilstiens are the "shiat" but whats the big difference? Some say Boge are just a OE replacement part whereas bilstien's are true to perform and comfort with have a lifetime warrenty on tops.

Anybody have any experience with these products? I seem to really be leaning towards the bilsteiens while my cash flow is leaning towards boge - im looking for a better driving experience for sure.
