Since I now have my new window sticker ('84) for the car it reads sport shocks as one of the options. But, the car has Boge front and rear with just about the right amount of dirt as the rest of the underneath. Wouldn't the sport shock option come to mean Bilsteins?
I want the vehicle to be correct. Tanx in advance

I may be off base here, but about the time that your car was built Porsche had been playing around with dual-tube gas pressure Boges (the basic, no-frills shock at that time was simply a double action hydraulic unit). I'm pretty sure that Porsche sold those gas Boges as "Sport Shocks," and then they put them in all of the 911s beginning sometime in '85. Regarding Bilsteins, I think cars that got them had the special listing "Bilstein Shocks" on the sticker.

Mr. Z, once again you have cleared up another mystery. After I read your reply I called the tech and he said the same thing. I always play both ends to obtain a reasonable answer. So, gas shock Boggies it is.
