Mike,

Here's a tip:  Boge will not, have a rear strut cartridge listed.  So what,
the front and rears are the exact same size!  I have one stock front and one
stock rear sitting in my garage (thanks, Joe).  You can't tell the
difference between the two.  The rears may not be the perfect valving, but
you probably will never know the difference because you'll be comparing the
ride to that of the DEAD strut cartridges installed in your car now anyway.
Good luck.

P.S.  I have the koni's in my urq.  If you do go that route, do not, I
repeat, do not set them on full hard if you are going to drive your car on
the road.  My urq is great on the track, but leaves alot to be desired on
the road.
