Is there any different between a 08-12 rear shock vs the 300?
From what I've read, the NewGen and 300 shocks are externally the same, but may have slightly different valving.

The EX500 shock is basically the same as the PreGen, but with a threaded preload adjuster and a much softer spring. The NewGen/300 shocks are a drop-in on the 500 (just a little bit longer), so they should fit the PreGen too.
