Re: Boge/Hor Suspension on Ebay

["Randy B" <scirokn81@email.msn.com>]

Eric,
I just took off my ST race springs and replaced them with the
Neuspeed race versions (red). I am still using the Bilstein's that
were on there before. The Neuspeed's are progressive rate while
the ST's were linear. Have you ever driven a small forklift? That is
how the ST's felt on the car, but the car had 0 body lean with
all the bars and tiebars bolted up. I would personally stay away
from them for the street, but racing?
Anybody want a set of ST racing springs, I am selling mine,
cheap!
The Progas will also require frequent trips to the dentist, and with
the ST's you might as well go to dental school so you can to fix your
teeth for free. This is just my experience.
