Boge vs. Koni

Hairy green toads from Mars made Sperry, Peter  A -Syntegra US say:

My one data point: I had the Koni Red internally adjustables on my
'89 100Q. The rears failed after 2 years, had to replace them. The
ride was OK though.

OTOH, I've had Boge Turbo Gas in 4 cars, all with GREAT results.
No problems with any of them, and the ride is always exactly what
I want. Of course, I don't use lowering springs, so I can't speak
for the valving rates.
