I used to have those shox before i got coilovers, there a great package, but a little on the soft side. I think you can still get them from GFS.

www.gsfcarparts.com sell them as said above. they do them as a kit with springs as well so it might be best to stick with a complete set up. but eibach and h&r are both good as are koni, so have a look around. a similar kit to the boge one is from euro car parts with bilstein shocks and ventura springs. i had a set of these and a few other people have them on here as well. hunt through for threads on these, gibby bought a set and is very pleased with them. they work out about the same price as the boges at about £175 i think.

I had them on my Mk3 GTi and they were fine.  Also consider Bilsteins.

Thanks for the replies guys one last thing if you dont mind thou what are the springs like that come with the boge kit from gsf is it worth upgrading springs to eibach or H&R?
