Default Retrofitting facelift mass damped suspension forks?
Anyone retrofitted their pre-facelift cars with the facelift mass damped suspension forks? Is it 1:1 except for the damping weight? Any noticable changes in NVH after retrofit?

Thanks!

So looking at both I see the 15+ got the "C" revision latter updated to "M" but i cant see any difference in them. Its a chunk of iron, how does that "NVH" change as i dont see a harmonic resonator on it?

Ah, the illustrations neglected to show that lol
So I assume that part has to be purchased separately?

Yeah, a lot of times the pictograms don’t get updated. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t have its own part number. I got mine from a part-out so I don’t know about ordering

Part number for the weight itself is 4G0413143A and 4G0413144A. Here in Finland, the fork costs 108€, the weight 145€.
