Today I went into a tire shop to have my tires rebalanced while my tire was off I noticed these bright yellow shocks and got the part number labeled on them and looked them up and they look after market, all in all what I’m wondering are these stock or after market I can’t find any info about them! Any info is very much appreciated, thanks

Yellow is also the color of the Koni (Sport) 8241 dampers. Neither the Konis or the Bilsteins are OEM and the OP should be able to tell what brand they are by carefully looking at markings on the shock body. Both the Konis and the Bilsteins are sealed, gas-pressurized units with set bounce settings. The rebound settings are adjustable, but the Konis need a special tool up front and then, only if the operator knows why and how they're adjusting them.
