Are these just the basic Billsteins with H&R spring?

Sorry for the dumb question just in need of an answer...

Thanks

I have red coils on mine too, and they are from the 964 turbo. the Bilsteins look like my HD version, but I've only ever seen my version.

the red springs are H&R's, they are tagged just cant be seen on the pic. Are these just the basic bilstein struts?

The front silver shocks look like bilstein HD, and the rear black shocks look like original boge. The spring have no idea.

I think I agree Not sure why they would do just the front and not the back.

I agree, the rears look stock. Very bizarre.

Yeah, fronts look like billy HDs with H&R reds. I'd sure like to hear the story behind this one.

Since they left the back shocks stock I'd be willing to bet they lef the spring stock too.

Sounds like someone decided to install piecemeal...and never got around to affording the rear axle components! Not sure if you can get rear H&R reds alone to finish it up yourself, however...

Hi Ace,

As others said, HD front Bilsteins with OEM rears. One cannot ID the springs without the numbers on them.

Both H&R and Eibach offer red ones,... .

Pi made red springs B&G made red springs. So who knows.

Looks like the way H&R coils the spring. I thought Eibach did it differently.
