Fitted some compressed springs into my ek1 hatch. Got three corners done well with stock shocks. The last corner (rear) screwed up. So I bought a another shock, which came off an ek sedan.

The shocks look very similar so I went a head and fitted compressed spring to shock. After tighting shock up, the spring was still loose.??? All the other springs went on tight on ek hatch shocks.

I then fitted the shock/spring onto my car. It turned out a tad higher than the other rear corner.

So are the EK sedan and hacth shocks exactly the same? The looked the same, yet they turned out different.
