Standard Sachs/Boge

Porsche Sachs / Boge Standard

Sachs and Boge are long-established OE suppliers for Porsche suspension, providing standard shock absorbers designed to deliver the original balance of comfort and control. At Design911, our Sachs / Boge Standard range focuses on direct-replacement dampers for Porsche models, ideal when you want your car to feel as Porsche intended rather than moving to a firmer or lowered setup.

These standard shocks are engineered to work in harmony with factory spring rates and chassis geometry, helping to restore a settled, predictable ride on the road. They are a popular choice for high‑mileage refreshes, everyday-driven cars and sympathetic restorations where you want that familiar, composed Porsche feel back without changing ride height or character.

Why do Porsche Sachs / Boge Standard shock absorbers matter?

Standard Sachs and Boge dampers play a central role in how a Porsche rides and responds. As original-style components, they are tuned for everyday usability, refinement and consistent behaviour rather than aggressive stiffness. Over time, factory shocks can lose their damping strength, allowing excess movement and making the car feel less precise or more tiring to drive. Replacing them with Sachs / Boge Standard units helps bring the chassis back into its correct operating window.

• Keep your Porsche feeling composed and well controlled in normal driving
• Help maintain a compliant, comfortable ride on typical road surfaces
• Reduce bounce, float and untidy body movements as dampers age
• Support long-term enjoyment, confidence and pride of ownership

Individual replacement dampers
Specific Sachs or Boge shock absorbers allow you to address a particular axle or corner while keeping the rest of the suspension standard. This is useful when one area shows more wear, or you are gradually refreshing an older Porsche.

• Ideal for targeted repairs
• Lets you replace only the parts that are worn
• Can be integrated into an existing standard suspension setup

Matched front or rear pairs
Front or rear Sachs / Boge Standard shocks supplied as a pair help ensure both sides respond consistently, which is especially important on the same axle.

• Balanced behaviour from left to right
• Helps avoid uneven damping characteristics
• A sensible approach for routine suspension maintenance

Complete axle or car sets
Where available, complete sets group front and rear components together to refresh the whole car in one go. This suits higher‑mileage Porsches or restoration projects where you want a uniform, "as it should be" feel throughout.

• All main dampers specified in one package
• Saves time compared with sourcing items individually
• Well suited to bringing an older Porsche back to a tight, composed state

Brands available in this category

For this category we stock a wide choice of trusted brands for Porsche models. You can also browse and filter by brand on this page to focus on your preferred manufacturers.

• Boge – Boge is closely associated with Porsche factory-style suspension. Its shock absorbers are developed to match original characteristics for the given model, axle type and spring design. This makes Boge a common choice when owners want their Porsche to retain an authentic, OE-like ride and response after replacing tired original units.
• Sachs – Sachs produces OE-quality dampers and is widely used across European manufacturers. Sachs standard Porsche shocks are designed as direct replacements, delivering reliable, consistent damping for everyday road use. They are well suited to drivers who want to restore original feel and refinement rather than moving to a more aggressive performance setup.

When should you review or replace your Porsche Sachs / Boge standard shock absorbers?

Checking standard Sachs and Boge dampers periodically helps you catch general wear and age-related deterioration before it affects day-to-day comfort or leads to more extensive suspension work later on. Because shock absorbers wear gradually, the change in behaviour can be subtle, but a refresh often makes the whole Porsche feel younger and more cohesive again.

• You notice bouncing, float or a generally loose, unsettled feel over bumps
• The car no longer rides with the calm, controlled character it once had
• There are visible oil marks or leaks on the damper body
• Knocks, creaks or other noises appear, especially over rough surfaces (also check mounts and bushes)
• You are carrying out a high‑mileage service, restoration or wider suspension overhaul

If any of these apply, it is a good time to review your Sachs / Boge Standard suspension options and replace components that are past their best so your Porsche remains reassuring and enjoyable to use.
