I know they are a million comments re the difference between the two, but I still have a question.

I have bilstein on the car now. They seem fine, no leaks etcetera. Before reading in this forum, I bought the boge shock replacement from Pellican thinking that they were direct replacement,...not. I have a set of Bilstein HD shocks on another car and I know they are GREAT shocks.

I am thinking of going one of three ways.

Replacing the bilsteins I have on now with new bilsteins,

or just putting the old bilsteins back on without revalving/rebuilding em. (I just hate the thought of 2 weeks of not getting the car back on the road. .

lastly, buying the bits needed to go with the boge shocks.

BTW, I am also rebuilding the UBJ, and replacing the LBJ, installing solid rack bushings, and new front sway bar mounts.

My questions are: can I recoup some money back by selling the old bilsteins?

Are they worth investing in (bilsteins). I like a tight ride, not race ride,lol.

finally!

FWIU, the Bilsteins are not avialable and ship dates have slipped multiple times, latest they "_SAY_" is July 2011 though most seem to feel that it dubious at best...

Drive now, rebuild the Bilsteins in the winter...
UBJ, LBJ? What about servicing the MLK and JFK while you're in there?

I think he was talking about the FDR or maybe the upper and lower ball joints.

FDR are Boge's rebuildable?

LBJ-Gee, I thought that was universally recognizable,lol. But I think I will worry about rebuild later. There are many things left to do, and I would like to drive the damn thing. Figure there will be months of cold ****ty weather here, maybe redo the interior a little then, dress up engine compartment. That type of time consuming stuff.

I did have a little vibration at around 65mph and above which I sure is partly do to the ball joints. We'll see after I get it back together....
