Bilstein / Boge

[Donsider]

Hi,

Looking for who supplies B6 Bilstein inserts at the best price ?

Are Boge inserts still available and if choosing, would it be Billy or Boge ?

Still interested in new standard springs if available by ?

Cheers, Mike.

Boge fronts are avaiable from the stealers but not from boge themselves but are pricey, the rears are still available from boge £80 a pop as i bought a set. Yaz on here does the B6s in his group buy thread good price to.

Hi,

Tried Yaz with no reply yet.

Would u recommend Boge ?

Cheers,Mike.

I've had both and the Bilsteins are much stiffer than the Boge. You can run the Boge with std springs but I would recommend uprated springs with the Bilsteins.

Got my Bilsteins from Yaz at a great price

I would recommend uprated springs with the Bilsteins.

Andy , what you mean by uprated springs?

I'm sure I've read that the Bilsteins are 30% stiffer than std so you need springs to match. I've gone for 250lb springs on my coil overs ( 25% higher than std ) and they seem to be a good match.

Depends on your likes for driving..and yeah, how you can put up with our third world cart tracks that masquerade as roads..The latter is why i went for softer suspension than i normally prefer..so all new standard springs, standard fronts (from stealer 3 yrs ago)and cos I was ordering other stuff from QST at the time,and they had almost new rear Konis off a customer's car,I stuck 'em in. It's not a bad setup actually, and I run standard wheels too. But I do get up some really rough roads at times, so granted it's a compromise

That is spot on but if you don't have coil overs can we get uprated (stiffer) springs (except h&r's)?

and that is why I went to coil overs!!

The only option ( AFAIK ) is H&R's and they are not made any more, the spring choice for coil overs is virtually unlimited and they are reasonably price at around £40ea.

Hi Mike, I have just sent you a PM with prices, sorry for the late reply... been away this week.

Also thanks to all that have recommended me

I installed Boges for a friend's aby coupe. After driving with it, I'd say they are far to soft. I'd choose bilsteins even with oe-springs. I don't see a downside having a little soft spring vs. shock. Vice versa it's a catastrophy considering the handling.

[Yaz]

Agreed, after all the B6 Sport dampers are designed to work with factory springs.

[Smiley]

I agree too, i have all std springs and Bilstein B6 with Avus 16". I like this setup very much, no fear of sudden bumbs and holes
