Re: Boge strut - color? WAS: Re: Did I do good today at the parts yard?



I've got Progas with Eibach springs. They were installed about 4 years ago,
and they're yellow.Altough this set-up is a hugh improvement over stock, it
is a little harsh on our shitty roads (Montreal) and at low speed. At high
speed and twisties, they're good, however, the drivers side seems to be lower
and chews up bump stops.Is this an indication of something other than bad
quality and my big fat ass?(I'm actually slim so do these Eibachs just
suck?Aren't they made in Germany?)
