Hi,
Does anyone have an idea where I can get the specs for the original Boge shocks? I'm thinking of purchasing a set of Spax adjustable shocks for my ghia, and they are pretty much available a la carte - length, bumpstop lengths, etc..

Thanks,
Mike

I have some Boge oil filled that are amazing, I want to put some on my other car as my ghia is being built for racing. They feel awesome and are VERY comfortable.

How are the oil-filled Boges different than the stock Boges? The reason I ask is that when I did the rustoration on my cab, I switched from the KYB shocks to the Boge shocks, and right now I find them a little too bouncy. On the other hand, the KYB's were hard as rails. I have a set of the Spax shocks on my 356 and like them - it's a good compromise and that's what I was going for on my ghia.
