I have a Sport 2001 that I am parting out. Just removed the shocks. I thought the Sport cars came with bilstein shocks, but the shocks removed look like twin tubes and not the larger diameter Bilstein mobotubes.

The car has the larger sport brakes and Torsen diff. Here is a pic of the removed shocks.

Good to know. I was sure these are twin tubes. Thanks

Wait, really? I thought the 'sport package' included bilsteins?

I'd gander that they were switched for the base suspension. Unless the car is an auto in which case I have no idea what the trims were like.

Sport was 16" wheels and bigger brakes. Sport "hard" had all that plus bilsteins. Supposedly sport had STB and chassis bracing, but I've seen the same stuff on all NB2s.

Sport was hugely popular, I see a lot of them. Don't see a lot of the sport hard.
