Default Curvy/Pointy shock interchange

Just a quick one - would a pointy shock fit into a curvey? They look the same, but want to make doubly sure so that I don't get something that's just a pretty paperweight

Default Re: Curvy/Pointy shock interchange

The standard curvy shock is 338mm and standard pointy is 330mm. Also the spring rates are different with the curvy spring being significantly stiffer.

So I would say they are not compatible.
