RE: Jamex Vs. Boge ProGas shocks
The reason is that the ProGas are a two-stage strut - on a lowered car
you are stuck in the second stage - which is the much stiffern setting -
therebt defeating the purpose of the 2 stage design. Turbogas is a 1
stage design, which is stiffer than the progas 1st stage but softer than
the 2nd stage.

Why not use Progas on a lowered car? I'm contemplating the Progas which
seem via the press on them to be higher end than the turbo gas....should
I reconsider? My 8v is lowered 1.5" in the front and none in the rear.
The front springs are stiff as hell though...
Thanks
