315 shocks on 316

Post by verde »

Would there be a huge difference in putting 315 rear shocks on my 316. Reason I'm asking is I can get a new pair very cheaply

Appologies for another silly Q

All the 315/6/8 shocks were out of stock and I can get 323 shocks for the weekend. Would these fit aswell, surely they would just provide a stiffer ride?

the rear shocks are all interchangeable as the mountings are the same.

Your a fountain of knowledge sir! Much appreciated. Having a brutal time finding parts. Struggling to get 60mm springs to be delivered within the week
