Hi all,
do the pre-facelift s-line models - the ones with the s-line exterior trim and slightly lowered suspension - come with different shock absorbers than the Sport or standard models? S-line suspension sits about 25mm lower than standard, I was told, so they must have lower/shorter springs fitted. But what about the shocks?
And on that note: if I plan to lower a pre-facelift sportback by 35mm (I see a lot of people use H&R springs), are the standard shocks capable of dealing with this? Or are you better off with the s-line shocks (if different than standard)? Or are either of these rubbish with a 35mm drop, and what would I be looking at in terms of replacement products and cost?
Thanks!
