Rear Strut Compatibility ?

[Fletch_QLD]

Is it correct that rear struts are the same from VR - VY ?
Also, Are they the same for IRS or live axle ?
And lastly, Do FE2 Struts bolt straight in to a standard setup ??

Cheers

1) AFAIK they are different, because live axel shocks sit straight, and IRS socks sit on an angle, there's no way the mounts are the same
2) see previous
3) yes, providing they are from a car with same axel setup

Thanks for the reply. So what's the chance of VY SS FE2 struts (irs standard I believe) fitting a VS Calais - (also IRS) ?
