I really wish Boge turbo-gas were still Boge turbo-gas.  I bought a set for a customers 240 a few years ago that had the red sticker over the sachs advantage or whatever it was sticker.  Sad.

I want Bilstein HD's but $200 a pop for the damn inserts, when I still have to find housings, is bumming me out.  I used to buy the complete strut assembly in HD for barely $100 and resell for like $130 not many years ago.

I notice the Tokico blue/HP looks to be a complete unit and is pretty cheap, the Asian guys speak pretty well of them, I'm not lowering or driving other than like I always do on the street, might give em a shot.

If I was younger and hadn't left my shop 3000 miles east of here I'd buy a pair of these and build some coilovers..

Many things we do naturally become difficult only when we try to make them intellectual subjects. It is possible to know so much about a subject that you become ignorant.
