[s-cars] Shocks and inserts - it's time to change 'em

[Tom Green]

I bought the Sachs/Boge shocks/inserts from Adirondack Auto Brokers  
who are
<www.germanautoparts.com> on the web and they answer phone calls as  
well.
Considering shipping costs are free at AZ, the costs are close.   
Shipping time/
distance would determine my pick, or other items in the order.  No  
one online
seller has access to every part and the best prices.

My last purchase has the Sachs Advantage label with 115 476 insert  
number on
the box and the Boge 32-402-F turbo gas label on the insert, and  
Sachs 170-141
on the shock box with Boge turbo gas 32-115-F on the shock.  These  
are comparable
to the stock gas shock on the sport suspension of the URS-cars, but  
stiffer than the
OEM A6 shock equivalent Boge automatic, a hydraulic only shock.

I've been talking URS-car shocks and they do not necessarily  
interchange with the
100/A6 shocks, so check the catalog.  Check here if you want it  
straight from Sachs.
