Question KW/Mopar coilover kit?

I have an 06 non-turbo, and was thinking of buying a coilover kit on ebay.
The part number on the box says 127 27 002.
The seller says they have been sitting in his garage for a couple of years but are brand new (they look new).
This part number looks like a KW part number, but there is no reference number like this on KW's web site. I know the mopar/KW kits start with a M451 sequence. Does anyone know anything about this part number/kit?
Thank you for any help
Shawn

I think you may have misread the part number, the auction I see says 100 27 002 on the box, the last 5 numbers are for the PT, and all that really matter for the price that you see, the first 3 numbers (100), means that the front struts are made of galvanized steel, and painted rear shocks, and have yellow "progressive " rate springs, the (102) series are the stainless steel (inox-line) front struts, and the Mopar/KW set are stainless steel (inox-line), both front and rear with blue ”linear” rate springs, but the Mopar/KWs are not adjustable in the rear, only in the front.

They do not offer the galvanized set anymore, only in replacement parts, i.e. struts and shocks if and when you need them.

These are a very nice system either way.

Thank you very much for your reply.
I saw the auction you are referring to, however this was the one I meant:
eBay Motors: PT Cruiser Coilovers NEW (item 290198196024 end time Jan-20-08 13:33:26 PST)
It shows the part number of 127 27 002.
It is the Mopar/KW kit, but the part number is a KW one.
The main reason I am looking at a coilover kit is so I adjust the rear height
(when I tow a waverunner). Do you think this set (the link) is rear adjustable?
The rear seat on this set appears to have threads.
Thank you for your help

Ok, no I did not see that one sorry, but also no the Mopar kit pictured in this auction is not rear adjustable it is a 57mm drop only for the rear, but the front is adjustable, only the KW yellow spring kits have rear adjustment.

I have both the Mopar/KW Blue spring kit and the KW yellow spring kit with rear adjustment, and I use a combination of both.

That saves me a lot of time and money.
Have you seen that part number before?
I called KW and they said it was a mopar number (maybe a number used internally by KW for shipment to mopar?).

Yes, if you look in any of the Mopar Performance catalogs you can see the numbers on the parts themselves, there is a Mopar Part number and a KW part number depending on where you look, that is so you can get replacement parts from KW as you can only but the complete kit from Mopar, like if you need just one strut or shock do to a accident the you get if straight from KW.
