Didn't want to hijack Warmfuzzies' thread, so I started my own. I found an auction for a pre-91 suspension setup with Bilsteins and Eibach springs, but the part numbers don't seem right. The seller claims the front shocks are F4-B46-1735-H0 and the rears are F4-V36-0385-H0. I checked the Bilstein website (thanks for the link, IanR) and it looks like the 1735s are correct (although they really should be rears, not fronts like the seller said) but I couldn't find the 0385s anywhere. Anybody have any idea what's going on here?
I also checked on the springs on Eibach's website, and while the website says the correct springs should be the 7201.140s, the seller says he's got 7201.002 on the front and 7201.001 on the rear.
Can anybody who has any experience with these products help me to unravel this mystery? Thanks.

V36-0385 is a right front for 964's, with rebound/compression 322/104. 1735's are the 'to 1990' rears, with 274/122.

Here is a quote from another topic:"........here's the latest from Ryan at Bilstien in California (800-537-1085). For our cars 91 thro 9/93 left front is VE3-5277-HO, right front VE3-5278-HO and rears B46-1547. They don't differentiate between the turbo/RSA and the regular 964 - one fitment is for all cars.
You'll find part no's V36-0384 and V36-0385 listed for the fronts too. These are no longer produced and have been superceded by the 527#'s.Anyway that's what they told me. Hope that helps someone."
I hope it helps
