Hey fellas!

I just bought a very nice '70 280SE to replace my daily driver 300D that I recently sold. The 280 needs new shocks and I'm stuck between Bilstein or BOGE. I had the BOGE units on my 300D and noticed they were slightly softer than the Bilsteins. I didn't mind the ride of them, but think the 'Steins would have been a better choice for a 123 chassis. So for the 280, I might prefer the softer ride that the BOGE shocks offer. What do you all think?
