After reading the advice of other listers I ordered the Boge TG's
for the front of my 4k. Though the tie rods are frozen and alignment
still couldn't be done, around town driving is great with the TG's.
Bumps are  definitely felt, all of them, and I can feel the road perfectly.
Here in North Texas we have plenty of pot holes from icing in the winter,
dips in the road for our torrential rains in the spring, fall and summer
(except this year <sigh>). I think that the Bilstiens would have been
too stiff for our environs. There had been quite a thread about this not
too long ago.
