hello, im doing a research if shock absorber from astra with lowered chassis would fit the standard chassis.
i understand on lowered chassis a spring is "shorter" but what about shocks? would they fit on standard spring, would the shock act stiffer or same?

The shocks are stiffer on a car with shorter springs.

You can just fit the shorter springs (that's what I did).
