unknown bilstein springs, help,,

[COUPE FREAK]

bought some bilstein springs for my 124 1993 coupe a while ago, the vendor said they were fitted to a jap import 124 soft-top,

numbers on the springs are, front-ZO 51 AOO
, rear- ZO 52 AOO

tried to find these numbers on the bilstine site but theres nothing matching them, anyone know if they are suitable for my coupe,??

Could be anything HKS, Tein,Apex there are hundreds of Jap LOWERING KITS.

Bilstein used to use VENTURA springs in many of their kits available from ECP. H and R get a good reputation. And theres always MERC's own sportline range which you can tailor exactly to your car's weight. Many spring manufacturers will supply the same rating of spring for a 6 cylinder autotransmission, air con, sunroof equipped car as for a 4 cylinder manual gearbox car without A/C or sunroof. Merc use all these factors in points system to calculate the spring rating required.

Nice to see they've got good after sales service. That really makes you want to buy from them.
