    2017 mirage suspension

    Is it interchangeable with a 2015? Coils shocks....
    My aunt just bought a 2017 es and what a difference in handling.
    Granted my mirage has 35k on it and hers had 121 miles lol.
    I didn't feel as much leaning and body roll with it. Even showed her some mild hypermiling technique and got her up from 24 mpg to 32 mpg on the real time mid. She was smiling ear to ear when she saw she could do better .
    So how bout it?

    Yes. Everything is interchangeable. I cannot find the part numbers for the 17' yet, but the springs in the rear and the strut coils in front were stiffened for 17'. I am not sure if the dampening of the shocks and struts themselves were changed, but if they're different part numbers, then I'd guess yes.

    Good luck

    I'll have to ask the dealer. I hope they are working on a quick strut design for fronts. Hate screwing with compressed coils

    I sold the rear coils off my '17 to a guy on here, and he hasn't reported back, but when I drove a '15 I was surprised by the difference.
