Ok so Im buying some shocks n' brakes this week but I want to make sure that Im getting quality parts. I will be purchasing from Bus depot cause they sold me on the german made parts. For the shocks I am buying Boge and the brakes I am buying ceramic pads that cost around 34 dollars... Now Is boge a good shock? they cost 59 bucks a piece for the front and 49 for the rear.
79 2000cc FI.... more to come later cause im going to be late for work so piece out all...

I just removed a complete set of those shocks after only 50 miles in my opinion they are to soft, then I installed a set of Kony what a difference.

[VWBUSRAT]

a set of KYB gas shocks will make you feel real good. got them on POPPA SMURF and he rides great. good luck...vwbr

[That_One_Guy]

Ok so its Koni vs KYB shocks... I have to order them today so I can get them before I head out of town... any advise???

I do not mean to insult mafigueroa at all, but VWBR is actually a VW mechanic. I personally would take his advice against most others, just based on the added experience he has.

The konis are good and pricey  but the longevity and price ($25 to $35 each)got me going for KYB. the gray colored ones are good for the road and white one for off road vwbr

I am going with the KYB gas-adjust... the off road one for all the hilly roads around here.. They are costing 100 bucks for 2 of them from mid-america motor works..Thanks for all the advice
