will the rear struts off a ae82 fit a ae93

as the tittle says
I am looking at buying a set of struts and springs F&R off a ae82
I have done a bit of searching and the front struts and springs are the same
and the rear springs will fit but i am unsure about the rear strut
I know the top is different and i will have to use my tops
can anyone confirm if they will fit

I bought some ae82 coilovers from a guy on here and they fit my ae93 seca.

they will fit but you will need to organise a way to clamp the brake hose to the strut - IIRC its different.

also - start soaking the rear sway bar links in INOX or WD40.

Youll probably find the springs are a bit stiffer for the seca as theyre heavier and therefore have a different part no.

the springs are lows for ae82 but in a ae93 they are super lows
i just wanted to know about the rear strut (shock) it self that is the one that has a different part #
