Question What are these shocks ?

Hi !
I have Bilstein shocks fitted by the one of the previous owners on the C2, and I don't manage to find their type using the reference written on the label.
Does someone know what kind of shocks it is ? Here are some pictures to help, the reference seems to be : F4-036-0384-H0
Thanks a lot !
Alexis

V36, they're an old model and haven't been made for about 20 years I believe.

Thanks a lot !
I was wondering if it was possible to replace the H&R springs and fit OE springs because the car is really stiff in this configuration... (and french B roads are crap). Or is it better to replace the shocks and the springs ?

Bilstein is very (too much) aggressive with their shocks. The stiff feeling is likely due to the shocks. There was recently a discussion focused on a more comfortable suspension. There are some suggestions at different price points in the messages-

Thank you for the link, I will read this carefully.
I read some threads about Koni Special Active (previously know as FSD), does anyone have an opinion ?
