I had a set on my '75 Opel Ascona and they were superb. Excellent damping, the gas pressure added a little spring rate, and the lasted over 80K miles. Fast forward to 2004... the rear Boges on my 245 with overload springs were shot, so I tried a pair of KYB's (per ipd's recommendation). I was not happy with the combination (specifically, with going over all the friggin' speed bumps that AZ seems to love) and wound up putting in Bilstein Tourings.

The KYB rears had less than 30 days and 1000 miles on them, and I'd be happy to sell them to you. I paid $80+ for the pair at a BAP store (foreign parts) out here, but if you search hard you can find them for maybe $65 plus shipping on the net. Let me know if you're interested and we can work something out via e-mail.
