My mistake. When I saw your post I saw the aftermarket sways in the pics you quoted and assumed you were talking about those

That is does! I hit a bump a few days ago and I though I heard my spine crack and my face almost hit the steering wheel.

The new shocks' dampening characteristics have changed to simultaneously improve the ride comfort as well as the stability on rough roads and at high-speed/when driving sporty. They are suppose to react more quickly to driver input.

Would it not be easy just to compare part numbers and see if they are different from the pre 2013 models?

I like the "Euro" shocks a lot more than the old ones. The car is much more composed in the high speed stuff.
