Rear springs/shock question

[waterwonder]

Afternoon,

I've got a mk 2.5 2002 1.8 sport with a broken rear spring.

In my search for replacements there seems to be a slight difference depending on what shocks the car is fitted with.

I've had a peer under the car this morning and can't see any evidence of yellow bilstein shocks. Is there any other way of confirming? Or is it simply all bilsteins are yellow and all standard ones are black?

Thanks in advance for any help.

N.b. I'm planning getting the shocks from Autolink and then getting them fitted locally in essex at Dandy cars. Any alternatives of a good source and or fitting location would be appreciated.


Thanks for your help
