Putting Boge on the rear.
Need to buy the shocks for the front.
Boge with the install kit = $ 60.90
WWest standard oil shock = $24.95
Is there any difference performance/ride.
Thanks |

| Personally I'd go with the WW shock. |

Not so fast!
I am tackling this soon, and would like to know what the merits are of the WW shocks over the Boges. |

About $35.95 saved.
Unless you're going road racing.. cheap oil shocks work quite well on these tin beaters.
For stock suspensions, oil shocks from the local flaps or Napa are just as good... no shipping charges too!
If you want a little more aggressive shock, go for gas charged, but ride quality suffers.
Just my .02..

Thank you; with that kind of endorsement, I was hoping to hear they had equal or better ride and handling at a lower cost.
No road racing, just after a smooth stock ride. Thanks again! |

| I just installed KYB Excel-G shocks on the front. Nice and smooth ride. The only issue I experienced was the spacer from the old shocks had rusted on the bottom mount, and were seperated from the old shocks. Ended up using a screwdriver to pry them open, and free them. |

| The quality of Boge shock absorbers is very good. I installed front Boge's over 10 years ago (to replace the stock Fichtel & Sachs) and the Boge's are still working great with no leaks. It's also considered an OEM part if you're looking for originality. |
