Re: Boge/Hor Suspension on Ebay

[eric chase person <eperson@students.uiuc.edu>]

while were talking about suspension sucking, i was wondering if anyone had
any opinions on Suspension Techniques springs.  Ive had them on my 16v
since i got it and right now i'm undecided whether they're good or crap.
My guess is that they're in between H+R's and Hor's.  THey seem to have a
similar stance and height to the H+R's but maybe a touch lower in the
back.  They seem to give the car good handling but its harsh on larger
bumps.  I'm running Boge's(progas i think, PO didnt know which they were).
If they are the progas then it would explain the harshness, but its hard
to tell if the springs are contributing to this by having sagged or not.
I think Koni yellow's are in the near future but im undecided on whether
to go to the H+R's or not. I know they're better but not sure how much.
SO i was just trying to get some opinions from some people who have
experience with the ST springs on their cars or have heard anything on
them.  Any help would be great. 
TIA
