Default What Shocks for me?

Just trying to figure out if my 1990 S4 with 160K+ has been running on Boge or something else.

Can anyone tell from this picture?





If Boge would work for me, I think I might get them as I'm not looking to drop a bunch of money on this WYAIT (doing OPG, MM, all new powersteering, oil cooler and who knows what else )

Thanks!

They look like grey original Boges to me.

I thought the GT's all got the Red Sport Boge.

Mine were grey too on my '91 S4.

Put a new set (4) of Sach (equivalent of the original base Boge) four years ago. Thanks Roger!

I don't track my car and don't push it much.

Very satisfied with the ride quality. Way better than before.
But at the same time I changed the tires and ajusted the ride height back close to stock so I can't tell exactly what helped. The new shocks surely did!

Thanks, everyone! Especially Bertrand. We sound like we're similar drivers of our cars
