Shocks are like oil - everyone has an opinion.
My opinion is that Koni and Bilstein are sport shocks and as such ride quality suffers but handling is slightly better.
Boge shocks were fitted to the 928 as standard and Porsche knew what they were doing.

 

I think part of the problem and confusion is so many 928 owners are driving around with worn shocks that are soft and they feel the need to "upgrade" when they replace them.

If more people drove in a brand new, 100% stock 928 it would be easier to appreciate what the factory equipment feels like.

I've read for years that after 75k - 100k miles, a typical shock has lost a noticeable amount of dampening ability. How true that is, I have no idea...but something to take into account when making a to-do list for your 928.

Like Jim Bailey always says: The best performance upgrade is making sure everything is 100% as the factory intended it to be. "Fix" the car before upgrading it.

How many 928 owners feel the need for stiffer springs / shocks to make their car handle better while all the rubber bushings are worn out?


Excellent deal, I'm shocked they are not all gone already.

 

That is a good deal, but I'm keeping by Bilsteins!

 

Hi Roger,
Just sent you a PM from Ireland.

 

One set for me please Roger!
Cheers

 

Hi John - email heading to the Emerald Isle

Stefan - will be done and thanks

 

I love the ride of the Boge over the stiffer Reds on the GT. I find the GT ride a bit jarring and the S4 ride very nice for long drives. If you spend 80% of your time on the track, I guess sport shocks would be worth it, but for day to day spirited driving the Boge is very nice.

 

Roger, just a follow up "thanks" for the great deal on the shocks.....now I have to install them

 

Hey Roger, I got the rears earlier this year and only need the fronts. Put me down for just the fronts.

Got a full set of these from Roger a few years back when he had a great price on them. It's one of the best things you can do for your 928 if the originals are still on there.

 

I think that sums it up. It's a bit hard to determine what your car needs if you don't know what the factory baseline is.

What a great deal

 

Aloha Roger!

Please put me down for a full set- front & rear- for my 84S! (Shipping to 96786 & address on record.)


Mahalo & hope all is well!

2 sets for me Roger....I have a few other things needed also....

 

Hi Roger,
Will these fit my car without any modification?
The references I find in PET for my car are 928 343 055 04 for the front Boge's and 928 333 051 08 for the rear Boge's.

Thanks!

 

These seem to be about $1000 cheaper than here in th UK so I think I want a set.

I suspect the shocks on mine are original but they are grey not black. What's the deal here? It's a 1990 s4
