Bilstein Sport Shocks..

Does anyone know the difference between the front and rear shock.. for the Bilsteins?
F B36-1854
R B36-1855

Pretty pissed... I just realized that the shop that installed my shocks (you get what you pay for).. put the rear shocks in front and front shocks in the rear? Not sure, but does the front and rear have the same fitments for installation.. nuts..etc?? Am I able to salvage the shocks and have them re-installed properly?

Let me know.. thanks for the info!

My best guess is the vavling on each shock is different. Front of the car is heavier then the back.
