this is a set of suspension that I got on the FD front clip...

the front clip it self is a Series I or II same as ours...

the suspension is in good condition, so i doubt it's the original 15 year old stuff..

I know Bilstiens came on late model FD's in japan.. RZ I believe had them..

think these are Late model FD suspension that was swapped on?
or are they after market Bilsteins?

the springs themselves don't have any apparent markings on them tho..

 

those look factory bro-

 

Am

 

I think they are aftermarket. Usually 'factory' Bisteins on Mazdas are black. Probably stock springs.

 

Not much help, but they are nigh on identical to the factory Bilsteins on my other half's JDM Eunos (Miata)
Prettys ure they're the same family on the FD, so i'd say they are OEM

Should be able to tell you in the next week or so when i get my JDM car with them fitted

 

Bushings on top end are very much same as they are on regular FD suspension.

 

I was figuring they were oem too.. not sure

unless someone kept their springs and tossed the oem shock and used Bil's

I tried lookin up the part number but yielded nothing..

I wonder if any of the Aussie guys could chime in..

yeah it should be to fit properly..

makes sense

when i installed my Tein's on my FC i had to re-use the upper bushing to install them as well
