    Suspension question

    looking for a new strut to run with my H&R race springs. Someone told me to check out Boge turbo struts, my car is a daily/drift turd. Just seeing what people think of them before just buying bilsteins. also if anyone is selling any billy sports i need some for the front!

    Koni adjustables or bilstein sports are gonna be your best bet. I'd wager 35% of this forum are on Sports 25% are on Konis, 25% are either stock or on some terrible shocks and the other 15% have coils or a more race orientated suspension. H&R races and bilstein sports are a pretty proven set up. Boge turbos look to be more of a stock replacement with a little bit of handling upgrade.

        My sense is that the Bilstein crowd far outnumbers the Konis. Of my 5 former and present e30 they were all Bilstein. Not that I'm partial

          Although Boge is listed as the OEM strut for my e30 but "Boge turbo struts" tells me its more of a marketing thing. I'm on my first e30 and decided to go the Billy way. I found them to be the most regarded struts. They look solid too.

            Konis are nice if you like adjustability, which I do.

              i think they are a tad more comfortable on the street too, but thats most likely due too settings

                Yeah, I made mine a bit too stiff last time and need to back them off a bit. It's a little inconvenient you have to detach the rears to adjust them, but it's still only like a half-hour job.
