Depends, does the 228 have M-Sport?

If not, the U.S. spec 235s (if I recall) do NOT have fogs. There are retrofit kits available that will include the appropriate ducting and space for fog lights.

Yes sir, along with the proper ducting. I believe it's also referred to as the "Euro-spec" bumper, since in Europe M-Sport comes included with fogs.

Most common that I've seen:

- H&R, Eibach, AC Schnitzer, Dinan Springs
- KW Coilovers, ST coilovers
^ All available from the Forum Vendor section, probably on sale too!

I'm also testing out the prototype Digital Air Suspension kit from AirREX

Hmm, I'm no suspension expert by any means.. but never thought there would be a difference in the AWD vs. RWD spring/coilover setup

I'd assume they'd have the same struts, spring loads, spring perch etc..
