What would happen if i put NON Touring Shocks on a Touring y33. My plan is to remove the entire assembly with spring attached and install it on my Touring Q. Will there be a complete suspension brake down? Will my wheels fall of as am Driving? LOL

If the difference in TOuring and non Touring is comfort then i want to move on this

I am practically getting these shocks for free. its coming off a 97Q45.has less than 5 thousand miles.

I plan on keeping my 97t for another year, so i am very reluctant in spending any major amount of money.

ANY SUGGESTION??

Only difference is the shock dampening specs between non T and T. Body roll rate just the feel nothing that really affects the handling per se.

Remember tires and the body weight on them are 90%, all the rest has a 10% effect at best. Modifying existing oem designs can jiggle things around +-2% at best in measurable numbers, while impressing the untrained significantly.

Amazing what searching finds: zerothread/213218

Fortunately for you I am picking the best topics of NICO and putting them in a document for all to see.

As of the date this response was posted I am at page 160 of NICO.
