The Aero sits almost an inch lower, yet I see the Koni's (FSD and Yellow) selling the same shock for both. They would be operating in different ranges of the shock travel.
I suppose that the dampening (compression and rebound) could be linear, and that it doesn't matter where in the range you're operating?
It also seems like the wagon and sedan should be different. It's possible that much of the difference could be controlled through the springs, but to do it right, I would expect different valving in the shocks.
I'm also considering new shocks/struts for the '07, it's now passed 110k miles. Still no leaks from the rear, my '02 didn't go nearly this long.
