About to order strut insert and would like any feedback from you guys on the brands I can easily get my hands on (looking for original feel and replacing Boge originals):
Boge (OEM) --> $103
Bilstein (HD) --> $108
KYB GR-2 gas --> $42
Stealer (assume Boge) --> $519 (yes, each!!)

Currently heading towards the Boge but the price of the KYB is very tempting...any comments??

Also any other tips and tricks I should know about or is the Bentley reasonable accurate?

Thanks, '88 750iL


I used the KYB's and was very disappointed in their performance. They ride much smoother than the factory shocks but don't give the same BMW road feel that I was accustomed to. Your price on the BOGE's seems a little high. I found a pair last year for $110.
