Koni DOEs make shocks for the Coupe Q.  I understand that the rears are
special orders.  

I don't believe that Bilstein has shocks available for the CQ in the US.

I hear that Eric F. may know something about Tokicos for the 90s/CQs.  Eric???

Did you get the regular Boges, or the Pro or Turbo Gas versions??? 
For example, Imparts can get you either the Konis or the Boges...

My CQ also needs new shocks, and I am waiting while I do my homework.
My worst case scenario: Adjustable Konis, front & rear, with Eibach
progressive springs...


Any other CQ owners with comments???
