Any suggestions on rear oil shocks? I know about Boge and I don't want to use gas, too harsh for the terible freeways here. Any oil shocks other than Boge that will fit?

    I've found the OE Boge's (apparently now called the Sachs Advantage) to be a good all-round shock - not harsh at all.

    However, I mounted a set of Boge TurboGas (gas-charged) on my son's car and noted a very slightly stiffer ride than the originals, but not uncomfortable at all on less-than-perfect surfaces. And - for want of a better word - more 'secure' handling. IMHO, a good compromise.
