Need to ID rear Bilstein's

[dezzmo]

I need to verify my rear shocks (installed by PO) and the number on the bottom of them is 803 0169 H005. The only set of numbers that look familiar is "0169" which I see in the parts list here on Pelican.

It seems that the PO installed extremely stiff front shocks compared to the rears which is causing my car to handle poorly. I need to know exactly what I have in the back so I can order matching front struts.

Thanks

Hi Tim:

Those are HD rear shocks.

If I might say,....handling problems can be caused by MANY things and you should endeavor to find out precisely what the PO installed in the car and how its set up.

Torsion bars, shocks, bushings, swaybars, tires & pressures, corner-weights and alignment all play a role in how a car feels and drives,...

Hi Steve,

your right about my handling problem could be from many things other than the shocks. But I've pretty much replaced everything on the car (I should have mentioned this earlier) with the exception of front struts and bushings.

Friday I had a Porsche Mechanic do a complete inspection and he strongly feels this is the problem.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated
