Boge suspension

[Pimped up vario]

I once had boge turbo gas suspension kit in a mk1 vw jetta which came with a boge set of lowering springs. I absolutely loved the way the car handled, on rails and loads of grip even with standard 14 inch average tyres yet compliant over bumpy back roads, and I would like to get a set for my 99 cordoba vario tdi. The problem is that I'm having trouble finding a seller or sourcing kits or springs of this nature. Does anyone know where I could bag a set of these springs or whether like bilstein they maybe use eibachs springs. It did have boge printed on the springs but I concede that this still could have been a eibach spring with boge printed on it. Thanks for any help.

Boge and Sachs are exactly the same parts, they are manufactured at the same plant but stamped differently. ZF are gradually phasing out the BOGE springs etc to just have the one brand name.

Type ZF Webcat 3 in to google and then search for your car on there, you should be able to find the ZF Sachs OE replacement kits and then Sachs SRE kits on there.

Thanks for that. I had a look and came up with this.


BOGE 25-L18-0
Coil Spring
◦Fitting Position : Front Axle

2 BOGE 25-D59-0
Coil Spring
◦Fitting Position : Rear Axle

3 BOGE 25-L50-0
Coil Spring
◦Reinforced Version
◦Fitting Position : Rear Axle

So I guess as you've said that they are phasing them out because from memory, and it was near twenty years ago, that they referred to the lowering springs as for sports chassis and normal for standard chassis. So eibach or weitec it is then. Having said that I've already done a search for eibach pro-kit and they don't list any for the cordoba 6k5 either. H and R list for it as do the weitec.
