flatfourfun 0 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Hi All, I have a 1997 VR6 and have fitted new Boge Turbo Gas dampers and new Gmax springs (30 VW 25). The car seems to sit lower than I expected, but more importantly, the find the ride quality very hard at the rear and soft and bouncy at the front. Overall, it is also very crashy over city street roads and uncomfortably jiggly on a motorway if the tarmac is rippled. Does anyone have any thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites
spindat45 0 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 HiI have Gmax suspension kit on mine (shocks & springs). It's the 40 VW 25 kit and it's been perfect with an overall drop of about 40mm. I live in London where speed bumps are all over the place but I rarely have clearance issues. I'd suggest that the Boge shocks might not suit the Gmax spring setup. If they are for a VR at a standard height, the fact that you've lowered your car could be causing the shocks to bottom out when you go over bumps. Did you change top mounts and have the tracking and camber checked after fitting? If either of those are out of alignment by a considerable amount, it can affect the handling but not the ride quality.Kevin Link to post Share on other sites
ThermalP4 1 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 I've just had the Boge Turbo gas shocks fitted with Apex springs. I wouldn't say it was awful trashy but it wasn't what I was expecting. But for the money I can't really argue. Link to post Share on other sites
