Has anyone heard of BOGE shocks before? Supposebly they are new here and are fitted standard to many luxo euro cars. They are meant to be only a bit more $$$ than monroes but are apparently 10x better. So anyone heard of or had any experience with this brand?
Also can anyone reccomend any good suspension shops around se melb? |

Yeah I've had Boge shocks before. On a G11 Charade. Yes they are expensive and NO I dont think they were much chop!! As far as being new here, I bought mine in Geelong in 1992!!
Sounds like your being sold a duck. |

Boge have been around a very long time, and I believe BMW, Porsche, and Mercedes had them as OEM items for many years, though not sure if that is still the case.
I've never used them myself, however my wifes Ducati had a Boge rear shock, and it died twice in 2 years. Warranty replaced it once, and the second time we had it rebuilt by a local guy. It's been fine since. Personally I'd use Monroe before Boge,simply because of the local support, though if money ain't a problem, Koni or Bilstien is the answer. Rik.
