Re: springs and shocks

Dave,
If you are going to run the Boge's, do not use them with lowering springs.
It will destroy the front struts and give you almost dangerous handling.
This is speaking from experince.
The Boge's work very well with the stock springs (or possibly even the
Neuspeed "soft-sports" although I've never tried these) giving a firm yet
comfortable ride.
