I prefer original Sachs cause my rear absorber last till recently since it was new from factory i beleive :top:. Unfortunately hard to find Sachs brand at nowadays so i chose Boge as most of the seller told it was from the same manufacturer.

Yeap Alex it's quite hard to source for Sach nowadays. I have been asking around as feel it's time to replace my abs and now I'm down to Boge Automatic, Bilstein B4 or Titan.
