Boge TurboGas on 4kq?

[Brady Moffatt]

Hi All,

I just bit the bullet and ordered some Intrax progressive springs for the
4kq, but I'm having trouble finding the Boge Turbogas shocks to go with
them. The rears I can find (at 170$CDN each(about 110$US)), but the fronts
don't show up on the system. They offered me regular hydraulic Boges
instead. Nope. Not good enough.

I chose the Intrax springs because they are the only progressives I can find
and they don't lower the car that much (1.4f/1.3r). I'd like to keep a
fairly compliant ride, since I live in pothole world.

In my case it might actually raise the rear when combined with the taller
"green" strut bearings. This happened to me once before on the Z. Worn out
stock springs beings replaced with new springs that were supposed to lower
the car half in inch or so actually raised the rear noticeably!

Anyways, any advice or part numbers to share? Or maybe another choice of
shock?

Thanks.

Cheers,
Brady Moffatt
