Hi

I have a set of New 40mm lowering springs and wondered if the standard Boge Gas shocks would be ok to fit with them.

As i have some new Boge shocks in the shed just doing nothing so just need to buy the back ones.

Any one got this set up and can tell me how the car rides would be great

Thanx

Tell me about it, took a set to pieces ready to rebuild when i found out which shocks to put in them

One side came to pieces pretty easy, the other what a pain in the ass the thing that holds the shock in was rusted solid :( but lots of WD40, hitting with hammer and alot of 4 letter words and the thing eventually budged :D
