Re: Bilstein ID

[UndrSteer@aol.com]

<< The previous owner of my car put Bilsteins on the front and Tokicos 
 on the back.  I would like the get Bilsteins for the back but I don't 
 know if it has sports or heavy duties on the front and I have to 
 match them.  Are there any serial numbers or product numbers on the 
 shocks, themselves that I could use to identify them?  >>

Why do you HAVE to match them?  I'm not familiar with Bilstein's but I would
put whatever their stiffest shock is on the rear, to help a smidgen with a
little less (very little) understeer.  (hence the name).  A lot of people put
semi-stiff's on their front and super stiff's on their rear.  I *essentially*
do this.  I have the tokico illuminas--for street I put my fronts to 2 (semi
soft) and my rears to 4 (semi hard).  For autox I put my fronts to 1 (really
soft) and my rears to 5 (really hard).  Get the super - hard bilsteins.
