Bilstein rsr with no insert

Hi, I'm looking for a set of insert that will fit those front struts(far right on the first picture). The problem is that I don't know if they are home made of if they are real since the spindle doesn't seems to be raised. Any Idea?

Thanks
Émile

Are you sure they have not been raised by 19mm?

I think it would be worth measuring them. Here is a link that will tell you how;

Here is a picture of what I think are real RSR front coil overs - it looks like you have the same gussets.

Lindsey Racing has an RSR Bilstein package. They have 12mm raised spindles. 12mm = 0.472441 inches. That would make it close to them.

12mm may be desirable for someone not wanting wheel weights on the inside of the wheel.

You will want a Bstein insert valved to the springs. Assuming everything else is a regular Bilstein there will be many suppliers, including Pelican Parts.
