Suspension PR codes

Post by Bepis »

I'm looking at replacing my shocks and springs all round and after looking into it I needed a PR number which helpfully wasn't listed on my build sticker in the boot. Rang my local dealer and my car is fitted with G09 front shocks and 1JL rear shocks. I'm struggling to find Bilstein B4 shocks that say they are G09 equivalent but plenty that are G11/G27 for example the Bilstein 22-105813 (front) and Bilstein 19-109572(rear). The rears are listed as G11/G27 so I'm guessing they're the right shocks as they match the fronts even though it isn't the correct PR number?

Is there a difference between G09 and G11 as it says G11 is for vehicles with standard chassis which mine is being a 1.2 E?
