I have sets of Koni internally adjustable shocks on special for $660

I have tried worn out boge's, stock springs
New boge's/stock springs
New boge's with Eibach's
and now stock springs with Koni's (red, internally adjustable).
I have the Koni's set right about midway in damping, and I have to say, this is my favorite set-up (stock springs, Koni Reds middle rebound setting) of the three I have tried on a street driven 928.
It just works for me without a doubt. It is such a vast improvement over stock boge's, its worth every penny at this low $660 price point.
I have them on my 85 now too, and love them on that car with stock springs as well.
Dave, if you add Eibach springs it helps the Boges quite a bit...
Big Mike!
Hey, I had planned on the upgrade at some point, I gotta look at those.
Here's a question for everyone: I had the "sport" suspension on mine from factory. My assumption was the only difference was the red Boges? Was anything else different?
Curious...sorry for the hijack

You also should have stiffer springs. (denoted by the number paint color spots and the color of the paint spots located on the coils of the springs. The differences are in the WSM)
I have Konis set midway with stock springs on the Stepson and the 89
I have Konis set on full soft with Eibachs on the GTS.

On my to-do list. Been looking around during the Web and, due to what seems like a Koni 20% discount, am seeing a consistent $155 per corner plus free ship Can 928sRus match that?

Pls advise.
If you hunt long enough, on the Internet, it is always possible to find someone who is willing to make a tiny profit margin on some item and thus allow you to get it cheaper....it's what makes the Internet great....and terrible.
However, $40 savings on the shocks, no shipping, and not having to pay Texas tax....probably a $100 savings, at least!
That's a big percentage....but I wonder what happens when something goes wrong....like you get a shock that goes bad (it happens.)
Roger impresses me as someone who goes beyond the norm to having his customer's backs. That is certainly worth something....I wonder how much?
