Yes, they will physically bolt on, but your car will be about 2" lower in the rear because they are shorter. You would also need to press out the bottom bushing from your existing rear struts and press them into the DSM struts.

Tony, he said FWD DSM rear struts. Pretty sure they will raise the rear.

Oops, yeah, I missed that. That would raise the car a bit.

No, the FWD DSM struts will not raise the rear 2". I don't know how much they'll raise the rear. I don't even know if anyone has ever tried installing them on a CSM before.

AWD DSM struts in the rear will make the car look like it's doing a massive AWD launch when it's just sitting still.
