Default Summer Special - Boge - Sachs - ZF shocks - SUPER DEAL DO NOT MISS THIS



Just bought a lot of Boge black shocks - Front & Rear.

These are new gas/oil shocks ----
928 343 055 07 Fronts 77 to 95
928 333 051 16 Rears 77 to 95

$480 for a set of four - plus shipping - about $20 in the CONUS.
I will probably ruin the Boge shock market for years to come - business is business.

Compare prices ----
Pelican = $560
Vertex = $536
928 Int. = $596
928 Spec. = $698
928 MS. = $788 surely must be a typo!!!

Available while stocks last.

These are the stock shocks as fitted to all our cars from the factory - unless you had the Bilstein or Boge red sport option.

I have never seen blue Boges - they used to be gray many years ago but changed to black.

Boge red were the sport option - they are about $1300 a set and I can only buy them via Porsche.

I put those on my car in 2011 and very satisfied with the ride quality.

Of course not as sporty as the red ones but just perfect for me.

BTW, this is a very good price.

Way to go Roger!

Hi roger, I would like at least 1 set for my '78. Would you recommend these over Koni Reds that you had earlier in the year? I'm deciding to take a second set of these for my '89 or go with Koni Reds. BTW, how much are the Koni reds?

Thanks-Hoi

Roger - Just sent you PM with order.

The last set of boge you sent are now installed on my 87 and I am very much enjoying the new ride.
I'm ready to do the shocks on my 88 now.

On my 81, i had koni reds and they were way to harsh. Switched to these and way better and way more like what i think was stock feel.

Recommended for earlier, lighter weight cars.
