So i'm looking for a shorter shock for my b13 and I was advised that the b12 shock is the best fit when using lowering springs (I'm using megan)... Now I've had the experience at the parts places such as Fiaz, where when I say I'm looking for b12 or b13 or b14 they tend to not think there's a difference between the parts when I know otherwise... I'm gonna buy my shocks online and ship it in, can anyone confirm the part numbers for the shock their using? Also, I know brake lines tend to be slightly different, any modification required for the B12 shocks to work right?

How much shorter is the b15 shock? Does it have the additional bracket for the abs line?
