Bilstein shocks, blue & black sleaves, Difference?
The picture of MidAmerica Bilstein shocks for a 82 corvette show the top sleave as black butr other vendors pics show it as blue, what's the difference?

I just looked though the MAD catalog and saw which ones you were talking about. They are in their Stage 4 suspension package, correct. I've never seen them before in black. Let me know what you find out about them.

Got an email from MidAmerica and they say: There is no difference in the shocks whether they have blue ro black sleeves. Bilstein supplies them both ways.
