Boge Pro Gas struts/shocks

Apparently Bilstein has a new line of struts, I think they're called Touring or something. Around $50 each, I think. Not sure if they have any for A1s, though.

There were some threads in the past where there were some complaints about the longevity and initial quality of the boge's but it sounds like they've fixed whatever problems they were having. I've heard good and bad about them but mainly I understand that you won't go wrong with them. People go with them because they're a good cost/performance value. I'm happy with my bilstein sports - excellent quality and work great with the h&r springs and sp8000's. But they're almost twice as much as the boge's. I hate spending the money and doing the work and then wishing I would've spent just a bit more for what I really wanted so I went with the bilsteins this time.
