TonyGoose Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 I think you'll be hard pressed to tell the difference in unloaded springs. Swapped mine from 2001SE to 2002Sport. Thing i noticed was a difference in coloured markings. SE rear had white/yellow splodges, Sport had white/red instead. SE front had yellow/yellow splodges, Sport had red/red/red instead. Not sure if that's any kind of help or not Incidentally, the shock absorbers had identical part numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyGoose Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Oh forgot to add... DEFINITELY a worthwhile swap for those with an SE or earlier Sport :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
