Hi All,

I took a look at the shocks i replaced and want to know if they are stock or aftermarket.

Bilstein M
Made in Western Germany

Front: 124 320 0130
Rear: 124 326 0900

Could not find these numbers in the partsshop.

thanks,

The part number on OE shocks are for the shock ONLY, the replacement part number is for a KIT.
Either Bilstein OR BOGE are original. Sometimes in the 70's/80's & early 90's F & S shocks were also installed.
Bilstein is the best quality shock you can install!! Either comfort or HD's. If the car is "low" then use the sport shocks. THEY are the same as HD's but shortened about 1.5".
