Are they good?

Want to upgrade my STi V2 standard Suspension.

Prodrive suspension was bilstein, worth googling a picture of those as thats what these may be :)

Here's some Prodrive WR units

so its not the prodrive suspension. mmhhh

The inserts on the Black ones do not look the same as the genuine Bilstein/Prodrives.
These use 40mm inserts and are whats classed as an inverted damper (the bumpstop is inside the bottom of the strut). They also have a large nut on the bottom allowing them to be stripped and re-built.

The Black ones look more like OE with billies stickers. Although difficult to tell from the pic, if the insert maybe slightly larger then OE, but not as large as the P'drive 40mm units.

40mm insert Vs OE insert

I had the Silver ones on my last classic. Although not badged 'Prodrive/STi' they were Bilsteins to the same spec. Had my own stickers made up though ;)
