Bilstein B6 Shocks for a 1984 Saab 900 Posted by ForzaSaab [Email] (#1646) [Profile/Gallery] (more from ForzaSaab) on Sun, 11 Sep 2016 09:16:47 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
900 Cognoscenti : I am in process with a modest restoration of my 1984 900 Hatchback (Base Model). It is time for new shocks all around.
Previously, I ran Boge 360811 front and 360821 rear. However, based on my research - these shocks appear to be discontinued, and there is no product literature out there.
Now a number of years later, it looks like the choice is down to Bilstein B6s (24-181501 front and 24-003971 rear) or Koni Special D (30-1088 front and 26-1087 rear).
Previously, the Boge handling was reasonably firm, without harshness, but not what I would call sports car telepathic. So, how are the Koni or Bilstein shocks going to compare to this ? Overall, I could accept a small increase in firmness, but not a decrease.

Thanks for your thoughts, appreciated.
