Re: E36 Struts & Shocks

[alex.fadeev@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Don,
Your shocks OEM is Boge.
The E36 OE Boge shocks are widely regardless as a POS that wear out in
under 50K miles and should not be considered when shopping for a
replacement for that reason alone. Another good reason to look aftermarket
is the price. OEM Boges are hideously expensive. You can get a set of
lifetime warranted and infinitely superior Bilsteins or Konis (rebound
adjustable) for much less than what a dealer will charge for OE Boges.

good luck,
alex f

Can someone provide the specs on the struts and shocks for the Sport
Suspension on my '96 328is coupe?  Are they Boge or Bilstein?  Provide part
numbers if possible.
