I need to know if the length on a 2001 m2 is the same as the 98 s3. I need to replace my shock from my s3and I have a chance to get the one from the m2. thanks | ||
| Tripper  |
It is the same length. Kinda. There is an early showa and the latest showa that is shorter. The spring rate for the S3 shocks were higher. That helpful? no. | ||

If you have the original shock on your S3 then no the shock from a 01 M2 will not be the same, it will be 2 inches shorter. You will need to get a new front mounting bracket as well as the new shock to install it. | ||

Trampster, I'll catch you on the rebound... | ||

Guys, please put a damper on it. | ||

Can't you all stop going back and forth already? | ||

I just have to say this has been shocking. I just showa up asking for a little a tension, and you all spring at me from all sides. It would be a scary thing to have all of you in the same room with a fireplace, rain outside, free beer, and barbeque. You know that don't sound half bad. Thanks for the info | ||
| Tripper |
damn, I lost my fluid. | ||

>>>It would be a scary thing to have all of you in the same room Tis At any rate....continue your fluid dialouge. | ||
| Road_thing |
Court, you certainly sprang out of bed early... | ||
| Tramp |
feels like spring today, it's so damp. can't recall such atmospheric compression in november... | ||

This is an absorbing conversation, but I don't want to dampen the flow of dialogue, so I'll suspend any further comments. | ||
| Tramp |
sounds like a load of... | ||

How is it that such a reservoir of shockingly brilliant minds can find return in such conventional prosaic free-play? It seems so upside down, yet we spring forth undamped. Does it stroke overloaded egos? Probably doesn't mean squat. | ||

I think this Discusion is just about to bottom out So I think I'm gonna throw my unsprung weight around and get outta here. | ||
| Tramp |
i surrender- you guys are KILLING me   "reservoir of shockingly..."  | ||
| Road_thing |
"Doesn't mean squat" I can't top that... | ||
| Tramp |
no WAY | ||

The suspension is killing me | ||

I am so absorbed in this thread | ||

I am certain that it will top out soon | ||

But not before it hits the bump stops | ||

You guys are FUNNY.... but this thread appears to have come progressively unwound. It behooves me to preload it to it's intended ride height, rather leave it underdamped and unsprung to wobble and bob along without control on it's perilous, frothing path of degenerated performance. | ||

And finally, a sagacious ending. |
