Default Bilstein Shock Part Number Help

Was wondering if anyone new the difference between the Bilstein BE5-2406/2407 shocks and the B46-1913/1914 shocks. Are they similar? Are they valved differently? Any reason to choose one over the other? Both are listed as being HD and fitting the LS1 camaros. I did a search here and on the internet but could not find a good answer. Any help would be great. Thanks

I think the 2406/2407 are the SLP versions. Anybody care to chime in? Says this on the Bilstein site under 2407: SLP "F" CAR REAR SHOCK

wrong...... superceded part numbers. My Revalves also use the BE5-2406 number with a valving spec. And SLP never revalved rears anyway, so those are still HD's.

Sam, are you saying the 1913/14 are the superceded numbers? Makes sense, if so, think the site posted above is selling old shocks? I always wondered about shock shelf life.
