Default Front vs rear shock canisters/ got them all mixed up.

so the first thing I did when I got my new MCS dampers was disconnect the dampers and set them aside. It didn’t occur to me at the time the front and rears are different. I need advice as to how to determine, which is which?
I’m in Japan and have not been able to schedule with MCS for consultation.

I have taken a front and rear damper and put all the settings at their lowest. I’m compared the rates at which they compress, but have not been able to decisively determine a difference. Any thoughts?

Pete - I’m responding because I was installing my MCS package yesterday. Some clarification please. What kind of car are you installing these on? Are you referring to the damper (shock absorber) or the remote reservoir? With my set there is no way to confuse the front and rear shocks. Thanks

Thanks Cliff- I should have made that clear. It’s a 964 with 392 and 616lb springs. The shocks are obvious it’s the remote reservoirs that I have mixed up.

I don’t know that mine are a comparison to yours, but I’ll check them and report back

Pete - I suggest you double check with MCS. Mine are identical front and rear. Visually the same, measure the same and same charge pressures.

Thanks,

Yeah I've been trying to reach them but haven't had any luck scheduling an appointment. Until now they have always been very responsive. The issue is that I'm in Japan and the time difference makes it hard to reach them.
