Spring, Upper & Lower will be OEM but what about adapter that holds the upper pad?
If you want stock height, you would get oem, Im not sure if there is an aftermarket with stock height. The adapter is simply a piece of plastic that holds the upper pad in place. Real oem should have a good diagram.

I want stock height but what i'm after is the kg rate/per spring. I'll do some research.

Do you happen to know which tech or service writer completed the task of the deletion?

Thank you do much!
