FYI- Boge Pro Gas Shocks 900 1992

posted by  someone claiming to be Lance Schumacher on  Mon Jul 30 09:56 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I did a little digging online today trying to answer my own question...didn't come up with much, though. What I did find, mostly from the BMW and Audi lists, was that instead of being "soft" the Boge Pro Gas shocks are actually stiffer than the Turbo Gas. Under normal conditions they perform about the same as the Turbo Gas, but when under load (like in a corner) they stiffen up beyond that of the Turbo Gas. Coupled with less stiff rear shocks (like Nivomats or OEM shocks), people have reported that their cars would understeer pretty bad and therefore recommend only using them on all four corners. So...Boge Pro Gas are out for me since I'm keeping the Nivos and don't want anything that stiff.

What I've found so far for anyone that's intereted...listed from softest to firmest ride...

Boge Automatic (OEM)

Boge Turbo Gas

Boge Pro Gas (cruising)

Bilstein

Boge Pro Gas (under load)

The adjustable Konis are an interesting idea, but can anyone tell me where they would fall in this list? What I really want is something between the Automatics and the Turbo Gas.
