Bilstein Shock Question...
Can anyone tell me how I can check to see which Bilsteins I have on my vette...they look like the originals to me and they are yellow...I have a 93 coupe...someone told me that yellow from the factory in 93 means I have Z-51... thanks

Re: Bilstein Shock Question... (Fuzzy Dice)
I had the yellow ones and those were factory. I just replaced mine with 155,000 miles on them. I think Bilstein shocks may all be yellow bodies, though. I put KYBs on my Vette now. Got them dirt cheap, brand new off of eBay. Got the set for $50. Couldn't pass that deal up!!
:cheers:

Re: Bilstein Shock Question... (Fuzzy Dice)
The only color I've seen Bilsteins in is yellow. So you may or may not have the optional suspension.
