Just spotted these

 

Are these the dreaded ones we dont buy?? Are they Sprintlines/Streetlines?

I think these are the Bilstein OE dampers....

 

I'm no expert though.

apparently they are too soft. Fit some 306 rears instead

For reference OEM spec Bilsteins are black, uprated ones are yellow.

In that case I may not fit the ones I have!

 

I did the fronts so I'll leave it at that for now.

I have a set of these but they are all yellow, so my question is what are the front billies in the picture at the begining of this post but in yellow like?

oh and they have red springs, does anyone know what kind of lb rating they are (didnt know if they were perhaps colour coded or something like that!?) i supose that would be to sensible lol. but worth asking!

 

thanks in advance

The yellow one's can be either, B6 or Group N, there should be a part number on them, Red spring's mean's nothing could be a huge amount of manufactures
