Re: billstein vs boge shocks

["David R. Lefebvre" <drl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There's a comfort and sport version of the Bilstein. I can't tell you 
anything about Boges.

I can tell you Bilstein is OEM on Mercedes, and I've used both sport and 
comfort on the same car. I would recommend keeping any car as close to 
stock as possible, unless you really know what you're doing.
