I disagree on the KYBs. I have Bilstein Tourings on a 244, they are very firm and handle well, and do have an obnoxious rattle (and are a free replacement set). I have KYBs on a 245 that has HD springs and they are completely shot--OK on compression but terrible on recovery. IIRC, another 245 of mine has the Sachs. I've never had anything but good experience with Boge/Sachs. BTW, the standard OEM shock is pretty good but the Sachs strut is definitely an improvement.
