Cup vs 172 shock absorbers

[Pugboy]

Quick one.

My mate who has a cup had the rear shockers replaced and the dealer told him theyre the same part as the 172 proper. I know the cup is a little lower but does anyone know if the damping rate, i.e. the shockers are different.

Cheers

The shocks are meant to have a firmer damping rate AFAIK and so the sales patter claims...

Im pretty sure the damping rates were altered for the 172 cheap. Not that a dealer would know either, and nor would it stop the unscroupulous b******s putting the 172 dampers in cos thats what he had on the shelf.
