Have just purchased some Bilsteins for my 1974 144 from Skandix (USA) and want to make 100% sure the part numbers are correct before my friend in Colorado ships them across the world to me.

They were advetrtised as "Bilstein Sport" for 140/160 series. The actual part numbers on the shocks are :
Front F4-B46-0289-H1
Rear F4-B46-0296-H1

Fronts match the current Bilstein catalogue number for "B6 Sport" shock for a 140, but the rears match the Bilstein number for a 240 (Bilstein catalogue doesn't list a rear shock for the 140 series).

Can someone who has a set of Bilsteins in their 140 check the numbers for me ? I am guessing that seeing mt car is a late model that the 240 rears will fit OK anyway, with maybe just a bush replacement at worst.

I figure if they are wrong, it will be easier to sort out while they are still in the USA!

Thanks in advance

PS : Even with shipping costs & exchange rate, they will be half the price I would have paid for them out here ....
