Default Suspension differences 02 STI - 04 STI?

Are the struts a different design between these 2 models?

I have a feeling that they are but cant remember exactly why or what is different....

anyone?

Can anyone clarify if swapping the complete units ie shocks, springs and top mounts these will be a direct swap???

I thought the only changes were to the 05> where the bottom mounts were larger as in the spec c (22mm iirc)..?

PM 'Fuzz' aka Andy @ powerstation, he cleared up a similar query for me last week regarding WRX suspension changes..

I'm sure its the mounting brackets as said above, theres a post with pics showing the difference. I think the JDm model is the same but the UK is different. Or its the other way about.
