cam.in.head Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 hi. hi mr hooby. all i will say is be carefull what you buy. im a mk1 cav man myself and they were quite softly sprung and damped from new .the manta ( if not a gte ) will be of a similar idea. i love the feeling and ride from the standard setup and its suprising how aftermarked shocks ,even boge or sachs seem a lot stiffer than the originals were resulting in a ruined ride quality .( in my opinion) i have got original gm ones on mine (nos) and did try some boge standard ones but only had them on for 1 week ! it obviously depends on what you are after and if a slightly firmer ride is acceptable to you then maybee sachs or boges will be fine.theyre not stupidly expensive anyway and obviously easy fitting . dont mean to stick my nose in just thought id let you know what i found. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
