Rear shock absorber from SC64 to SC58

[dansup]

Hi,

Does anyone know if rear shock absorber from SC64 will fit to SC58?

It's 2cm longer but all bolts size is the same.

I've got a used one but in a quite good condition OEM shock from sc64 (mk2, 2010-2017) and I wonder if will it fit as a replacement  .

Since you have it to hand and if you're allowed spanners why not try it and see its a fairly quick and easy job. I think you'll find the extra 20 mm will raise the rear end altering the front to rear balance/loading, who knows what that'll do to the handling if anything. Don't forget to report back here on the good, the bad and the ugly of it.
