[QUOTE="ajpagosa, post: 1362456, member: 30139"] The 2016 base (non-ES) OEM rear shock is now a KYB unit. So it is definitely not the same as 2013-15, whether it has a stiffer/softer spring(s) or not have no idea. I have read that the 2016 ES spring rate is same as gen 2 (676 lb/in) so softer than 13-15 (over 900). But you get true preload adjust on the ES, not just hard/soft. edit: Fred's post is better [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
