    Stock "IS" shocks

    Would stock "is" shocks (Boge Turbo Gas Shocks) fit m3 springs?

      Yes, but don't count on them lasting any amount of time.

              Because they're shorter. With any hard driving those (at least the fronts) should be done very quickly. I'd imagine frequent visits to the bumpstops too.

                  AFAIK the M3 springs aren't much shorter than is springs.. maybe 1/2" at the most.

                      Really? The 1" figure has always been thrown around, I guess it was optimistic.
