If you get shipped the wrong shocks, just contact GodSpeed, they will sort it out. I received the replacements free of charge and delivered under two weeks. From my measurements above, you'll be able to tell what you have, right or wrong, before you even start the job. My pain was your gain As for the sway bar links; yes they are shorter than OEM due to the mechanical differences in the shocks/base mount point. In the picture below (pardon my grade school crayon drawing ) you can see how the OEM mount flange is higher up, hence the shortened link requirement. Really happy with the coilovers overall.

Also, was going to add a comment about the sway bars.. Changing the height of your car changes the handling dynamics and since the sway bar is used to counter body roll, upgrading it could benefit you. Lowering or raising your car will not affect your sway bar other than changing it's rest position. (it could hang lower if you raise your car, higher if you lower it, really depends on it's shape) I does not get loaded more or less with equal ride height change; side to side motion (body roll) will load or unload forces on the opposing side. In this specific case since, the link mount point is lower on the shock itself, and as a result the sway bar (ends) would sit much lower and could make contact with road stuff (speed bumps, etc.) I'll try to take a picture to show how even these shorter ones stick further than i would like. I'm not sure how OEM looked as i didn't get any pictures before i swapped. Cheers, Last edited by COUWK; 02-10-2022 at 06:21 AM.. |
