I have the chance to pick up some ap2 shocks to replace my existing blown shocks. will the ap2 shocks work with ap1 springs? is it a direct bolt on? will the ride quality be different? how so? i checked the part# for the shocks and they are diff. for ap1 vs ap2.

thanks so much

 

yup they are all the same.

 

I know they are visually the same. I THINK, the spring and shock changed rate in 2002, then again in 2004. I do notice 2000-2001 cars sit a little lower than 2002-2003.

According to an online parts supplier, 00, 03, and 04 all use different shocks AND springs.

Anybody have any good info on this?

 

would you advise against using two front ap2 shocks w/ two rear ap1 shocks?
