[reaper1721]

I have heard there is a difference between the front shocks on r33s between series 1 and series 2. could anyone confirm this, and clarify....some pics would be nice too

there's no difference

last time when i got kyb's for my s1 they said that part numbers are same for s1 and s2

i spoke to kyb direct before i ordered

I bought some aftermarket APEXI shocks from a user on here and he had a Series 2 R33 and I have a Series 1 and they fit no problems. However they did have this bracket thing coming of them which I thought might be used to hold the brake line or something like that on a Series 2 but didn't need to use that on my car.

Maybe the standard ones had a slightly different damping rate or something like that, but the mounts and that are the same

I'm guessing the extra bracket you're talking about is for those 33's that came with ABS

i thought they all came with ABS?

No, it was optional on (I think) R33's built between 1995-1998

was it optional on the gtsts and gtrs? or just the gts' and 4 doors?

Ye mine is a series 1 (94) and it doesn't have ABS. Your probably right TALBO, most likely for the ABS.
