Not the same.

The struts are not interchangeable. The upper mounts are, but the struts themselves are not. The original 1gn upper mounts do have bigger fasteners, but a lot of aftermarket mounts all use the smaller 2gn fasters.

If they were the same, why would all the strut tower brace manufactures make two different styles, for '95 - '99 vs '00 to '05? It is either the way the upper mount is clocked, or the way the bars are bent for clearance.

1st gen third bolt points to the engine bay. 2nd gen third bolt points towards the fenders. Basically the bolt patterns are 180º off.
