BOGE VS SACHS

[clk320x]

After my Sachs shocks started leaking oil after just 30K ish miles/6 months I’m not happy...

Are BOGE much better? BILSTEIN don’t seem to make the sports suspension variant for my car.

That's shocking!
Sorry Abs, not helping here I know - I have no clue about mechanical and oily stuff.

£180 for both front BOGE shocks, I don't need springs and the rears are still fine.

No idea, wasn't done in my ownership. I'd assume so though as one of the best indies in the UK carried out the work. So I'm sure it was done properly.
