    Boge are the factory shocks. Bilsteins are higher performance shocks. IPD's website ipdusa.com tells the differences.

      If you DO NOT like a firm ride, do not get the Bilstiens.

      If you want closer to OEM ride, get the Boge

        I just put Bilsteins on my '94. I have them on other vehicles also. They have a firm ride but are not as choppy or bouncy as the stock shocks. I find them an improvement over stock. koni's are the best way to go as you can adjust them to suit your taste and they last forever. I have a set on another car that have about 250k on them and all I've done is change the oil in them a couple of times.
