I need to know which model Bilstein shock absorbers were fitted to the NC2 Limited Edition that was sold around 2013/14. I need to replace my current shock absorbers on a 2010 NC2 that is used as an occasional daily drive and track car, and want to replace them with the Bilsteins that were supplied with the limited edition model so I can continue to run it in the 'Standard NC' class. Thanks, Jitag.

The factory Bilstein shock absorbers are not the same as the aftermarket Bilsteins AFAIK.
Any standard replacement aftermarket shock absorber should still qualify for "Standard NC" class.
You can check this with the club.
The best standard replacement would have to be Koni.
I have a set in my garage ready to be installed on my car when I get a free weekend.

Thanks for that. I've also put a query through to Mazda Australia, but no response as yet. I've already picked up some Bilsteins, after asking for the same ones that were factory fitted, but I'm waiting for a response before I go ahead. The interesting thing is that Mazda wanted over $2,000 for a complete set a few months ago, whereas i've got them for under $1,200 from a Sydney supplier.

I know Goodwin in the US currently has both the HD and Sport Bilsteins for the NC for US$489 a set.

I don't know if they're the exact ones on your model, though?
