stock 996 suspension question

so I took off my wheels today and noticed my struts have bilstein imprinted on it. Are the stock struts bilstein?
(Sorry this is probably a noob question but I did a search and couldn't find anything.)

Sharky996 is infamous around these parts

They very well may be. Check for the Porsche parts stamp and part number. That's the best way to determine if they are the original dampers.

The stock supplier is bilstein but look for the part number. Stock housing is black.
Aftermarket bilstein housing is yellow AFAIK.

In believe in some parts of the world, like in Europe, Bilsteins are available in black as OE style replacements.
