Question Bilstein Install??

Okay i just got a new set of Bilstein shocks for my 99L. I was hoping to install tonight but once i got a stock one off and compared the 2, it looks like the bilstein may be wrong. Anybody have any tips that myabe could make this a little more obvious?

I dont think those are right... The top part is different, and the lengths are way off unless the Bilstein is compressed.

It looks like you got four fronts. You'll need to exchange two of them for 2 rears.

HTH,

When you do get the correct rear shock...don't forget to order new top nuts for the rear shock. 99 nuts dont fit the 01's
