green/gold shocks on 81 comp?
I came across green shocks on the front and gold in the rear when power washing the underside. The springs are coded with green and gold respectively. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Both are Bilsteins, part of the "competition group." The gold rears are height adjustable, the green fronts are fixed height (non-adjustable) and NLA (as far as I know).
To fit adjustable front Bilsteins you will also need S4 front springs. That's how I ended up with the front Weltmeister springs you now have on your '80
Not sure if they bolt right up, but I've got a pair of front "S" (floating) calipers if you want to upgrade. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/pts/6180050581.html
