Hi,
I bought my 2000 S3 this fall, and I've noticed some yellow and blue bilstein rear shocks, but I was not aware of any modifications since I bought the car without seeing it first (Bought it from Germany, and I'm from Norway) and the seller didn't know anything about it (a local Audi dealer in Germany).
Since I'm going to upgrade by suspension this spring/summer, I need to know what parts are already there and this is where I need help from you guys!
1. The rear shocks is yellow and blue as all bilstein shocks, with a number of BE5 6034 printed on the side and some nürburgring stickers. This is the B6 shocks I think, correct?
2. Since the car obviously is modified, I'm thinking maybe some other parts has been modified or changed, but the front shocks does indeed look black so no bilsteins there, and the springs all around are black with a purple sticker. I can't find any part number on the springs or the front shocks this has lead me to believe that they may be uprated or maybe atleast changed..? How can I easily identify the springs and the front shocks as OEM or not?
3. Is the Bilstein B6 as good as the B8, only made for springs lowering less than 30mm?
I'll try to get some pictures up tomorrow
Thanks in advance!
