boge model confusion

[David]

ProGas are the high end, TurboGas the middle,and Hydro are the low end of the Boge line.  Hydro = OEM in quality and stiffness, Turbo = better quality and 15% stiffer and Pro = highest quality and ~20% stiffer than stock. Or atleast that's my understanding. Not many places carry the ProGas. I had a set of Progas on my 1988 90 and loved them. I have the TurboGas on my CGT now and love them. Frankly, I really can't see much a difference other than price. Both come with a lifetime warranty and I've never had a problem with getting the vendors to honor the warranty...and I replace them every 2-3 years whether they show signs of leaking or not (never had one show any signs but we all know gas shocks just slowly get weaker over time)...
