OEM Dampers (Shock Absorbers)
Can anyone tell me what manufacturer produced the original equipment dampers for the SRT6 Roadster? Are they gas pressure? Are they multitube or monotube?
The reason I ask is that I will soon be acquiring a 2005 Roadster. I know that Mercedes Benz has had a long working relationship with Bilstein and wondered whether this may have carried over to the SRT6. If they are not Bilstein I will plan to change them to Bilstein soon after acquisition - for the improved ride/handling compromise that Bilstein offers.
Thank you in advance for any information that any of you may provide.

Usually Bilstein dampers are painted yellow and have a Bilstein label on them. I have noted this on other OEM fittings, although I do not know if Mercedes/Karmann adopted that color scheme.
