My local forgien auto parts guy said that Koni made the UrQ strut
inserts.  I had thought they were Boge, but maybe that's just a
screwed up memory of discussion of Boge Turbo Gas.  I got on the
phone and talked to Ron at VW Specialists and he suggested looking
into putting a front strut off a 5K into it if stiff and cheap
were what I wanted.  Interesting idea... Any BTDT out there?
