URGENT: Help needed! Will 02 Wagon struts bolt-up to a 04 Sedan?

I read lots of posts concerning sedan struts on a wagon; people reported not enough negative camber.

I needed to know if I can use 02 Wagon Struts on an 04 sedan. Will I have TOO MUCH negative camber and not enough positive? I am going to cut the 02 struts up and install my GC/Koni setup anyway so I dont need to worry about topmounts or springs. I just want to know if the mounting holes are different, and how different?

Will it be ok?

Someone please reply quick, I need to find out quick as I am just about to buy a set from a guy.. (I bent mine )

Thank You in advance.

Cool

I knew I wouldn't be able to expect an answer so quickly, but I just came to a conclusion that the struts will bolt up, its just that I would have the opposite problem of wagons, that is, I would have excess negative camber, and might / might not be able to adjust my camber bolts to near-stock spec.

The unknown factor is how much camber difference there is between the Sedan and Wagon struts. And *HOPEFULLY* they are the same length .

Ugh, I hope this works. Thanks anyway!
