Trying to identify what Bilstein shock I have and information is not clear... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Lets start with the back ones as I think this will be easier (maybe). These are yellow and have the 5-6 grooves with the ring allowing to ajust the ride height. P/N is 720 0179 H003. Are these the Heavy Duty, the Sport, or something else? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Looks like there is only one option for the rears in yellow with the grooves but they have a different number. Did Bilstein change their numbering scheme?


For the front, I am using 911 3" wedge bolt Boge struts. For this I actually have a selection of 2 sets of Bilstein yellow inserts with part numbers:

F4-P36-0113-H003
052 112 H001 EDIT for typo: 050 112 H001

What to read for both of these two front ones, Regular, Heavy Duty, Sport, other? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Help appreciated. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

well
i just pulled the two boxes down that my bilsteins came in .
i am pretty sure these are the boxes for the front shocks.
part # 34-001127
the other number on the box is P36-0112

we ordered these believing they were the softest of the bils.
to replace original boges in the 1.8
i guess you would call them regular. but i think they refer to them as sport.
not real sure.
they are stiffer than boges thats for sure.
also really all i could get in aus.

i did not keep the boxes for the rear. so not sure.
unless i crawl under car and see if i can read a part number off them.
