I have a question, I think I already know the answer, but wont to make sure. Will rear shocks off a 2003 to 2006 LS V8 (Gen 2) fit the rear of a 2002 LS V8 (Gen 1)? Trying to come up with some options. Thanks everyone.
Kybs are 55$each on Rock Auto and good enough for me though!
Mines an 03 v8, there's a couple other options for it as well, you can get some economy ones for 12 bucks a piece, I don't know how long they would last for though, haha! if I had a spring compressor I'd probably buy them just to try them for fun but it's a pain in the ass trying to compress the springs without a spring compressor let me tell you. got a buddy with a big jacked up van that has a receiver hitch on the front so we jacked it up a little and set it down on top of the spring\shock with some 10 pound weight from a bar so the bolt could go through the hole and compress it to get the nut on, pretty dangerous but it worked good,we used harbor freight ratchet straps for the rear springs but the front ones are way stronger so the straps didn't work. Barely worked on the rear ones, bent the metal ratchet handle, lolReally? I'm probably gonna be getting front struts for my 02 V8 Sport and I use Rock Auto but I don't see any KYBs there. Only Monroe and Gabriel.

I just looked at the struts for a 2003 there. It lists the same part number for the Gabriel as it does for the 2002.The KYBs are listed for year 2003 to 2006, hence my question.
