Dampers/Strut

rsnissan · 02-06-2017, 05:01 AM

I had a quick search on the forums and couldn’t find an answer…

Are the x drive dampers the same as the s drive dampers on the M sport (for non adaptive)?

Thanks!

the m sport suspension has a different strut to the base suspension which comes with xDrive non adaptive

You can check out realoem.com for the parts numbers if you need them

This. The xDrive models come with standard suspension or adaptive.
However, some people have installed sDrive springs on xDrive to lower the height.

Thanks Guys, I'll be switching out the OEM xDrive springs for some ACS ones but wasn't sure if the dampers varied between xDrive and sDrive. Now I have read my question back they obviously do due to the weight of the xDrive!

I guess I should have asked if the dampers vary between the SE and Msport or is it just the springs?
