Shocks for '89 100??

[P-O Selander <p-o.selander@ericsson.com>]

Fellow drivers,

I know that many of you/us put on BOGE, KONI or BILSTEIN shocks. Great
shocks but somewhat expensive for my commuter 100E (even though I just
put 6000 great miles on it during a 5 week vacation - at 25-28 mpg, not
too bad for a slushbox up in the mountains).

Has anyone tried the "american made" Gabriel ProRyder or similar after
market shocks. Can get these gas shocks for less than $40/piece and
might consider it since I am not really looking for performance, just a
good daily driver. But, my trusted mechanic says their too stiff and
might damage the strut mounts. Any reason?
