[V8] Strut comparison

[Andrew Schlueter]

I guess this all comes down to personal preference. I have had a 20020v
with bilstein sports and loved them. At the same time, I have never been
in a car with new boge turbo gas, or konis. When I replace mine, I will
go for turbo gases or bilstein touring. About the same price last I
checked.

I just installed the Koni Sports I picked up in the group buy some time
ago.  Installed with 1/2 turn of adjustment towards the firm side, don't
ask me why.........I enjoy a spirited freeway ramp attack now and again,
however most of my drive time is highway cruising.    I believe there
are 5 half turns of adjustment or 2 and 1/2 full turns, according to the
horrible international pictograph adjustment and installation
instructions..........  Had Boges on car, not known if original or
replacement, car has 170K on the clock. The ride is stiff, when first
installed it felt like the car was moving with every bump, crack,
undulation, and crevice it encountered, however, it's also been below
freezing for the last week, the drive home today will give me an above
freezing evaluation before I go in and try the full soft setting.   If
still too harsh will probably have some very slightly used Koni Sports
for sale.
