The original shocks are 'Boge'.
I don't know if there's anything wrong with them other than by now they'll be well wore out and the technology is perhaps a little old.

Two options
Gas and old oil style are avaliable, I would go for the gas type. As you may know the B ans K's come highly recommended so is the price 
do you know if any mods are needed for the other brands, seems like there of as different length.

Don't know of any other brands other than Boge, Bilstein and Koni that fit the 928. I went with Bilsteins as I'm a fairly aggressive driver and we have wide open empty highways to explore the high cruising speeds of the car.
My car was originally fitted with Boges that were well worn so I can't give a comparo to the new Bils.

Tampa...........the shock are 'BOGEs'.
The M474 suspension is BOGE red shocks and stiffer springs...............not sure if red BOGEs are available..........if they are it may be through your local Porsche dealer $$$$$$$$$
ps...........Borg was a Swedish tennis player no?

maybe he was thing borg-warner
but i think they make transmissions or friction parts or something
Yes the original equiptment was Boge, but you can alternately buy koni or bilstien.
The M474 sports suspension consists of red sport boge dampers and different springs, supposedly only the fronts are different but who knows for sure.

I credit my friend Dave Benson with coming up with the easiest way to measure ride height.
Take one of those pocket sized collapsible pointers (the ones that extend like a radio antenna), sit the base on the ground and extend until it touches the datum point - pull it out and plop it against a ruler. Season to taste and yer done.

Cool. I was just thinking of the Two fingers, pointing at your eyes, then pointing out.
