Default Bilstein Shock Part Number Question

Just acquired a set of 4 shocks from another forum member. They were taken off a low miles 96 LT4 car. Owner replaced them with Konis. The part numbers on the car don't match up with Bilstein's # on their website...

Fronts 5322053W00
Rears 5112054W00

Anyone have any idea if these are Z51, Sport, etc?? Thanks.

Hi Jeff,

I have seen those numbers on Bilsteins as well and could not cross them over. Look closely just above the bottom weld on the barrel and see if there is another number there. If all else fails you might have to contact Bilstein through their web site. Hope you get that pulley alignment issue straightened out easily (make that cheaply as well).
