The ball joints on the end of the straight arm are probably different. One is slotted and one is threaded. Someone else might be able to confirm or tell me I'm talking rubbish

The shocks might be the same but the superstrut arms are different between AE101 and AE111.
I had to buy some AE101 arms, knock off the short one and put that on my AE111 BZ-G. The whole assembly wouldn't fit, but the shorter arms are the same.

I don't even know if you can change it all over. It's quite a bit differnet between cars.

For only $250 why even bother. You only get what you pay for afterall.

Keep the suspension you have and save up for some new bits.
