The Japanese spec 2000 C43 I have came with what appears to be Bilstein B6 or B8 does anybody know?, there are no numbers stamped into the body and the sticker is no longer legible.

The body of the shock is a larger diameter than the standard 202 or amg-bilstiens usually found on the C43 which may be the tell tale for what shock t is?. The dust cover is blue.

Comparing them back to back with the amg-bilstien these are a more compliant and comfortable ride.

The shocks look like they have been on there since new as its only covered 81kkms The Bilstein sticker also has some Japanese on it.

This is the second 00 japan spec I 've had, the first one the usual amg-bilstien shocks.

If anyone could shed some light please do.
