I have a full set of Rev2 rebuildable struts for sale taken off a car without ABS (if that makes any difference) - they are not in good condition but cases are OK & can be rebuilt - £20 picked up - if you want them drop me a PM

The hubs are the same i.e. the big chunk of metal apart from abs/non abs.

But the axel carrier is different between a N/A and a turbo and Rev1s have smaller dust shields, so won't fit Rev2+ without removing/modifying them.

HTH,

Nik

PS: what revision car do you have?

The are all the same, rev 2 and later had bilsteins shockers, as stated all the hubs are the same, you can even pick up ones off a turbo and simply press out your collar/carried (where the shaft goes in) as the turbo shaft has a larger diameter, and press your NA one in.
