RE: Shocks dead, any suggestions?

["Kaklikian, Gary" <Gary.Kaklikian@Compaq.com>]

RD Enterprises was unaware of the Boge Turbo Gas rear shock for the 5000/200
TQ, so I called Sachs directly and got the part numbers for them. I remember
they ended with -F (indicates gas), and can get you the exact part numbers
if you need them. 
After installing these front and rear on my 5000TQ, the front still feels
somewhat underdamped. If I had to did it over, I'd probably either use the
Boge Pro Gas in the front (they're not available for the rear) or spend the
big bucks for the Bilsteins.

Call RD Enterprise....   1-800-683-2890.

They carry Boge and Bilstien.  They also have the best proces around on both
of these.  I'd reccomend the Bilstien HD shcoks.  That is what I want to go
with.  Nice and stiff ride and without going $$$$ for a coil over kit.

No affiliation....just passing on info I've recieved.

Later,
Dan
