Potenza damper?

[Alec]

I was just polishing my wheels the other day and looked at my shocks and they each have a sticker that says, "POTENZA DAMPER". I Googled it and found out that supposedly they are some rare JDM shocks made by Bridgestone. Has anybody heard of these and could anybody confirm this?

I just found out that mine don't say, "for STREET"

Alright, fine. These pics suck because it's hard to get my big camera in that small area. Don't mind the red paint, it's from when the caliper's were painted.

Really, for some reason that's what I thought and I know absolutely nothing about suspension. What lead you to believe that?

my parts car had a set in similar condition, and they looked almost identical. The shocks should have a stamping on them to tell you the manufacturer.

Did they say "Potenza" on them?

 

[adampecush]

they said GR2...which is why i said yours look like them. The japanese companies have a habit of re-badging parts made by other manufacturers. I've got a set of apex'i shocks on my car that I'm sure are re-badged bilstiens or konis.

Where could I find the manufacturer stamping?
