Default Identify this suspension...

I'll try and get a photo up, but for now will do my best to describe...

Silver dampers, stamped Bilstein, black springs with no writing.

Look pretty old, so must be classic fitment.

Any ideas what they've came off?

Yeah but the shocks will be guts of 13/14 yrs old now. It might also be normal aftermarket eibach sportline springs fitted as they are black also.

Look like this?




They can be rebuilt by Bilstein if they are feeling a bit tired.

WR Sport/Prodrive Blues by Eibach, or the P1 springs (red) again by Eibach, failing that, just a set of Eibach sportlines

The blue/red Eibachs are near impossible to get hold of... Eibach Sportline/Pro it is then.

Is there anyway to what springs are currently on, or even if they're lowered at all?

The springs are plain black, of what paint is remaining anyway, and no noticable markings or writing

if you cannot see eibach & partnumber painted white anywhere then only other thing you can do is a side by side comparison with a known std spring

Managed to get them fitted today (and spotted the E of whats left of the Eibach logo painted on the spring)... and canny pleased. Has lowered the car nicely and the ride is much better. Great combination of bilstein and eibach.
