Looking at those two links, one fits the rear and the other the front, so yes, they are completely different.

Oh for goodness sake. Well spotted, thankyou.
I want to beef up the rear suspension, but I'm struggling to know where to start looking. All I keep seeing is "lowered" and "nivomats" and other words I don't understand. |

Nivomats are self levelling rear shocks.
Lowered springs and exactly what they are, springs which lower the cars right height.. |

Canis: No one really knows the dark arts of suspension on these cars (I've never come across anyone). I have 4 sets of rear springs purchased/nicked/borrowed in order to raise my rear end. Finally i got it up by 25mm not the 50mm I was aiming for but it gets me out of the sh1t.
