It very much depends on the type of Boge shock. I agree, the TurboGas is not wonderful. Its OK, but not great. In all honesty, I've had better luck with Boge ProGas, than with Bilstein HD. I would also take a Koni over a Bilstein Sport any time. I've had more Bilstein failures than I have with KYB, or Tokico! Go for the Boge's, but buy the ProGas. Al

Forget the stress bar. You don't need it unless you have super sticky tires for autocross. Instead you will want to consider Bilstein HD shocks. Sport can be a little stiff and Boge are barely good enough to control sport springs. Plus they won't last. The Bilsteins become very cost effective when you are replacing shocks after 2 years or less. Ask me how I know. Hope this helps.
