    Boge Turbo Gas- compatible rears?

    I have a pair of NOS Boge Turbo Gas strut insterts I plan on using for my bone stock '87 325e. The rears feel fine but I'd like to replace them since the TG fronts will be stiffer by ~30%(?) on stock springs.

    What's a good set of rear shocks that'll match the near OEM set up up front? It's barely a +1 upgrade up front. The front strut inserts came with the car so I might as well use them. Just looking for some rear shocks that'll match the Boge's. Thanks-

    EDIT: HANG ON!!

    I was wrong; they are rear shocks, apparently. They are stickered with the model/part number(?) 27-008-F and those are not strut inserts. They're rear shock absorbers. Now I'm wondering if I can find the matching front strut insterts, model 32-720-F. They are still Turbo Gas, though. Having no luck, stateside, and not worth buying overseas when I could just get Bilsteins for the same money.

    So I found out Sachs bought Boge and I think I can use one of their struts that MIGHT be compatible withe the Boge's I have.

    Does anyone know if the Sachs 100-590 strut inserts are similar to the Boge Turbo Gas shocks? I found a pair for cheap (brand new), so I might just take the chance.
