RSR strut inserts the same mounting as regular?
 

My 'new' 914/6 has real rasied spindle bilstein RSR F struts (threaded body and all). Are the inserts the same physically as the regular and sport bilstein inserts? We were talking about valving at the track and *IF* they still have RSR inserts they are probably way to stiff for the front of the /6. Does anyone know the identifying #s on the inserts to tell the difference? If I send them out to be revalved: Do I have to send the inserts that are in there out, or can I send a old sport set I have out? (it would be a waste of time and money if I did the latter only to find out they don't physically interchange.)

Tnx!

They all physically interchange.

The RSR valving; 161/160 is just horrible and really should be revalved.

Thanks Steve. Thats what it looked like but I wanted to be sure (and I have a friend that swears there is a bolt in the bottom though I think hes confusing it w/ a boge or kyb type insert.)

Is there a # that identifies a RSR insert? I seem to remember that my old inserts are stamped something like ######-B50 to tell the difference between a sport and HD insert. Problem is that I don't know what insert is in there now until I take it apart - the PO has little paperwork. I searched the bilstein site and found the bilstein part #s but none of them say RSR - I guess if my inserts don't match any one their list I'll definately need to send 'em out.

Oh well, one more thing to add to the 'to do' list;)

Tnx again,
SMD

All Bilstein inserts used for Bilstein struts; HD-Sport-RSR, use a roll pin near the bottom to secure the insert inside the strut body.

An RSR insert is an RE3-5049 and the stock valving is stamped at the top; 161/160.
