Bilsteins...sport or regular?
Is there a way to tell the difference externally between the sport and the normal bilstein's?Also,do they both have the shorter shaft installed?
I bought a used set and owner not sure which it is...
Most seem to go with the sport shocks..are those a lot stiffer...or I guess I need to know why they are more popular
TIA

The sports are FRONT: BE5-2977 and REAR: BE5-2978
It looks like the Bilstein website is wrong.
Hope this helps clarify.
