The biglist can answer this (and has)... but my understanding is that the
cars come with blue UrQ-style ones in back, and black ones in front.  Mine
has fresh UrQ in back and fresh 4kq in front.  I would have used the 4kq
fronts in the rears, but my wrench said that the rears looked real good,
so he left 'em.
