Can you identify this? (two pics)

[ernestedward]

Since my car is a hybrid (of sorts) the suspension is unknown to me. Anyone able to identify the type of car these bilsteins fit? early na, late na, turbo, s2, or other? I'm trying to soften up the ride, as this car was formerly of track use. The only number I could read was this, etched into the bottom of the right rear strut: 7030161H00 (I think, very hard to read).


Also, any recommendations on the most cost-effective, soft strut to replace it with? Only street driving.

The standard OEM Boge struts have decent levels of control yet remain relativley soft.

Those are standard bilstiens

Boge will soften the ride up a bit.

the suspension is from a turbo or S2.

I read that no car came with bilsteins from the factory, or is that just N/A? Or maybe you mean something else by standard.

BTW thanks all, great help.

Those are actually the Sport Bilsteins. The Heavy-Duty model is yellow.

Wasn't there a "sport" suspension option in which Bilsteins were used?

Regardless, the cheapo Boge shocks will do just fine, IMHO.

Option 474 was Sport Shocks - Koni Yellows.

The Esxort Cup cars used Bilstein coilovers in front. You can still get them I think, about $1900 a set.
