Really, the only difference is the size of the crash bolt. I've heard of people drilling it out from 14mm to 16mm.

or use reducing washers

link posted there does not work anymore, but just type washer in ksport site search and it should show the reducer washer.

also, in terms of STOCK struts, the 01-02 uses a 50mm strut housing and the 03-05 uses a 55mm strut housing. bitter strut, better built.
