I got this info from Boge/Sachs USA technical, for C900 saabs:
** 900 no s-bars, F/R, 36-081-1 / 36-082-1
These are usual ones stocked by vendors for all models, although they
are officially listed as for all 900 models without sway bars. These
part numbers used to come in white/blue 'automatic' boxes, but now are
sold as 'turbos', in turbo box, with a red label on shock. (I put the
'automatics' on front, and recently 'turbos' on rear of a turbo with
bars, and they work well for firm, sporty ride without excessive
harshness.)
** turbo + sway bar, F, 112-102
This is a Sachs number, and may be similar to a slightly stiffer oem
shock. Still stocked for US, but likely special order from vendor.
** turbo-sport + sway bar, F, 112-103
Similar story to the -102, but mabe for the stiffer SPG? Rep was not
sure, since the SPG (and Aero) were noted as requiring Saab dealer part
numbers.
** base thru M83/84, F/R, 27-911-0 / 27-912-0
All the previous ones are gas pressured, allegedly mono-tube shocks.
The OEM spec for these early base 900 models was softer, plain hydraulic
shocks, no gas. These are still available, I think they are Boge models
(vs Sachs).
-------------------------------
For boge and sach's:
some vendors just stock the boge-turbo and/or sachs-advantage shocks. these are listed for most all C900 models, but w/o sway bars ... most find they work fine for both, even spg's. F/R:
boge 36-081-1 / 36-082-1, sachs 106-006 / 106-003
for about 2X the $, special boge/sach's are listed for 16VT, and 16VTS, with bars:
standard (front only)
boge 26-102-G, sachs 112-102
sport(spg?) F/R:
boge 26-103-G / 26-104-G, sachs 112-103 / 112-104
all above are gas shocks. softer non-gas shocks are also avail from them.
