I forgot to mention that the the Boge feel alot more soft on the rear than the front.
Hoenstly u own a EL GT, spend the money on koni or bilstien and u will never look back. Just pay the extra money if u intend on keeping the car for a while and it looks good on the resale when u have good quality gear on your car.

What do you want from the shocks?.Do you want it to scream around corners or do you want a lounge ride?

I have built a set of shocks for a bloke on the ford forums,he is in perth, they are in a ba but will give you a good idea of what you can make your car handle like and also ride quality.Pm me if you want a ride.

There are alot of EL GT Owners out there, who are looking @ replacing their shocks. I might bring the green one around for you to drive, if you can equal the ride & handling of the original shocks, I would say your gunna make a lot of money.Greg.

I have an eb ghia v8 with supers and boge shortened shocks and it seems to go ok.
I would class them as a stock replacement, in my opinion they wouldnt be good enough for a gt.

Well the Boges are now on the car, I am very impressed with the ride & handling of the car. I can now feel the rear tyres (Bridgestone Potenza SO3's!!!) beginning to lose grip on hard cornering A full set of Yokohama Advan V103's will go on, then off to the GT Nationals we go. Thanks for all your input & comments guys. Whoops, I forgot to add, these shocks are approximately 25mm shorter than the standard EL GT shock, both front & rear, personally I think they are better than the OEM shocks. Greg.
