    Boge or Bilstein

    This one won't change the world, but I'd like to no what your views are.
    RS2 when driven off assembly line was fitted with Boge shocks, and not Bilsteins as a lot of people seem to think.
    True or false?
    My mate swears Boge, and not having a clue myself I'm sticking with his opinion.
    Come on guy's no sitting on the fence

    Read in a few different places that the RS2 left the production line with `yellow` bilsteins as standard and the same standard s2 springs. Not sure if you could upgrade suspension like you could the brakes. Im sure someone with far superior knowledge will have a tea break this afternoon and leave a post.

          All the ones I've ever dealt with have been BOGE and replacement OE dampers are always BOGE.

              rs2315, never believe everything you read ! and i had read `bilstein` twice in different articles. But `boge` it seems to be. I will now bow to my superiors

                          They are S4 ones, and they need a modification to fit.
                          I can do you a pair if you have no lathe access.

                            How much do they cost? I have the possibility to buy a pair Used and i also play with the thought to buy them new.

                            What S4 year? Does the PSS dampers also fit?

                            Thanks i advance for your help
