Bilstein Hd or Boge Turbo Struts in rear 4KQ?
I'm wondering whether Bilstein HD struts would be better in the rear of a 4KQ with the battery in the trunk with a turbo setup. There isn't much of a difference in price and I've been very happy with Bilstein HDs in my BMW. Would the extra battery weight in the rear need a stiffer shock setup? I have Boge Turbos for the front, but haven't installed awaiting a rear strut decision/purchase. Anyone have this setup with Boge Turbos in front and Bilstein HDs or sports in back?

I'd go with matching the front
The extra weight of a battery won't really how the shocks feel (I put 2 40lb bags of rock salt in my 4kq's trunk for winter traction) - I also did Boge Turbos in the Audi and Bilstein HDs in my Volvo 850 and feel the Boge's to be firmer!
