Stock suspension.

Can any body confirm if all of the shocks on the solstice or sky are the same? meaning that if anyone can switch the shock from front to back,and or left to right because they all look the same.
So I need some advice thanks.

They are NOT interchangeable front to back. Also, while not 100% positive, the Bilsteins on the 2.4 may be tuned (valved) differently than the 2.0 car. The shocks ARE interchangeable between the 2.4 Sol and Sky, and therefore between the 2.0 GXP and Redline.

Snaponbob is correct the shocks in the 2.4 without the performance package are valved softer. The shocks in the 2.4 SOL I think are firmer than the 2.4 Sky from what I have read.

The shocks and Springs in the rear are shorter than the shocks and springs in the front.

There is no difference in the engineering design of the kappa suspension between models. So shocks Stabilizers and Springs can be interchanged between all of the Kappas. Just make sure you get the correct bushings if you swap stabilizers.
