Default updated: Look what the FedEx guy dropped off :)

hey gang,

I am so excited, I can't wait for spring to install these babies. My question of the day is, did I recieve the right parts. When I look at Jeff (intheair) suspension post, the part numbers are as follows:

(1) F4-VE3-B648-H0 Bilstein HD Shock (Left Front)
(1) F4-VE3-B649-H0 Bilstein HD Shock (Right Front)
(2) F4-BE5-6131-H0 Bilstein HD Shocks (Rear)

Mine are slightly different:

(1) F4-VE3-B648-H1 Bilstein HD Shock (Left Front)
(1) F4-VE3-B649-H1 Bilstein HD Shock (Right Front)
(1) F4-BE5-6130-H1 Bilstein HD Shocks (Rear)
(1) F4-BE5-6131-H1 Bilstein HD Shocks (Rear)

IS this right, do I have the latest and greatest, front adjustable, etc, etc.....

Doesn't matter if it's cars or shiny new parts, I love seeing pics of this stuff! I'm a sick man. Good luck with the transformation!

Those are the correct dampers with the extra threading to allow a larger range of ride height adjustment.

Default Bilstein HD's

Make sure you seek out an extra set of locking nuts from Bilstein in NC for the rear shocks. Better safe than sorry.

Those are correct. The number convention changed a few years back (I would have expected that stock would be gone by now).

Here is some more detail in my DIY thread:
