My Ride: 535D Tourer - Pre LCI
Default

Hi Chaps, just wondering what the difference in height would be? I have recently fitted some weitec to my SE shocks and ended up with the lowest riding 535 on the planet!

Bought what i thought were M sports, and they have turned out to be sports with dynamic (I dont have dynamic) - If i fit these rather than send them back, what height will i be looking at and will they be a nice compromise between the M's and the SE's

Does nobody have any information on this what so ever?

I think by google the sports give a 15mm drop, and the M sports 25mm against the SE's but im not sure this is totally reliable info...

I was wondering the same thing and no replies. The sport and M sport springs have different part numbers so they must be different.

yep exactly, hopefully it'll not look too daft and i'll have a perfect medium between the M's and the SE's - here's hoping

Not sure I'm going to be able to do these tomorrow yet, previously we had to remove the entire hub to get the shock out, i'm hoping to be able to prise it out this time - although i'm not very confident - can do but try

Right...heres the difference - the ride is a lot more comfortable and you can defo tell the difference with the shocks, harder and dampen far better...
