I've seen listings for struts and shocks for standard TIs and Sport TIs, what is the difference? Will standard strut and shock fit my Sport TI or? __________________ Pete N | | | 09-18-2006, 10:09 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 | I believe the sport suspension is lower and stiffer. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone 1998 Schwartz II sport 318ti - M50TUB25/5 | | | 09-20-2006, 12:19 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Lake Stevens, WA Posts: 119 | It's stiffer, but I don't think it's any lower. What I want to know is why are there different, unique P/N replacement struts available for each? What is the physical difference between the parts? __________________ Pete N | | | 09-20-2006, 05:06 AM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Minneapolis Posts: 1,587 | I remember hearing somewhere that the sport suspension shocks were actually the Boge "Turbo" model. The standard suspension was something else in the Boge line. My GUESS is that the only difference is in the valving/firmess. I may be wrong, but I don't think it's like Bilstein where the "Sports" are the same as the "Heavy Dutys" except that the Sports have a 1" shorter piston rod. | | | 09-20-2006, 01:17 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 | __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone 1998 Schwartz II sport 318ti - M50TUB25/5 | | | 09-20-2006, 08:01 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Lake Stevens, WA Posts: 119 | Thanks! __________________ Pete N | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
