Bilstein Shocks Confusion?
Depicted below are the Bilstein part numbers for various settings outlined on the Bilstein web site. This table lists a RALLYE/SP setting that I;ve never heard referenced on this board? Pelican lists the SP combo as 0975 (rear) and 0113 (front)? For those of you who have installed HD front and Sport rears have you installed the 112's or 113's in the front? What part number was then used in the rear?
I am considering 0975 in the rear and 0113 in the front, what do you think?

According to this chart the Bilsteins I bought are the Rallye/SPs!? They are yellow with Bilstein lettering in blue. Strange...not what I thought I'd bought.

jdub - did you put the rallye/sp's all the way around? How is the ride? Good for both street and track?
Your experience is not uncommon.

I cannot yet say. I had a few hours this past Monday and, from the complete parts cache I have for a full rebuild, I pulled the new Bilsteins and put them in. The rear of the car lifted a bit, such that it now looks correct! The ride has improved as well, so that bumps are not as harsh and the ride smoother and more compliant.
The swap was from yellows to yellow: no difference in shock type as far as I can tell. John
