Default Bilstein inserts on H&R street coilovers, anyone know if they are HD or Sport

and a part number.

My fronts are blown and I don't want to deal with taking the fronts off, putting the stock fronts back on, shipping to H&R, waiting 6-8 weeks for then to repair them then reinstalling.

I know they use Bilstein front inserts in their kits, would rather just buy new ones.

Default I could be wrong, but I don't think the inserts are exactly the same as standard Bilsteins.

I would have thought that H&R had their own special valving?

Default Don't think so, for mass production do they really want to spend the manpower on custom

valving? I could be wrong.

Default I'm sure you're correct, but they'll want you to send them in to be rebuilt...

...i think your path of least resistance is to put stock on and ship the blown ones back.

I don't think Bilstein's are like Koni's, i.e. they don't really have a drop in cartridge w/ footvalve. I think it's just the seal and body with a bladder and gas pressure.
