Hey Chaps,

Does the KYB EUROPE 363010 fit S2 front struts, are the tubes all the same S2 and S3 ?

S2 and S3 struts are different as S3 has the bigger stub axle and bearings.

I believe the tubes are the same though.
Back in the UK for the summer, maybe longer......

I knew what you meant. I wanted to clarify so when someone looks it up in a years time it's clear to them.

Just had this reply:-

Thanks for shopping with Jegs. Part number 363010 is temporarily out of stock. We apologize for this inconvenience. The 363010 has an estimated ship date of 10/26/15. We will leave the order open unless we hear differently from you and if there is anything else we can help you with, please let us know.

I think I will cancel as this could go on forever :twisted:
