sprint is yellow, street is black.

[Guest edcotic]

thanks

 

that means they are streetlines. From what i gather these are not worth bothering with

 

shame

fronts are pretty much o.e, rears have been said to be base model spec and not up to GTi spec.

 

retail is around the £170 mark Inc lowering springs.

The information about the streetlines is correct, but hes asking the difference between sport and sprintlines?

 

Sport dampers are the fancy non-adjustable ones - sprints are the same, but shortened stroke.

 

Another obvious difference is that the sprint/sports are monotube design, with a thick piston rod almost as wide as the damper body. The streetline are 'normal' twin tube design with the piston rod being relatively thin.

Yea as Ahl said, the Sprintline and Sportline have the same damping characteristics, just that the Sprintline has a shorter rod/stroke so is more suited to a lowered car.

 

Both are Yellow at a guess, check the Bilstein website, all their shocks have part no.s so should be able to tell that way?
