I can vouch for the Bilstein problem. I *really* wanted a set of
the Bilstein HD's for my '89 100Q. I would have settled for the
Boge Pro Gas. Every Bilstein distributor I talked to laughed a
little as they explained that I was SOL. Same for most of the
Boge distributors. One said his fiche was unclear, and the Pro
Gas *might* fit....

I ended up with the Koni's, from someone who found out how to
make the Boge's fit (with a drill).
