Default '98/'99 2GS Owners Unite! (Difference in Parts from '01+)

Hey everyone,
Have you ever bought a part for your '98/99 model because you ASSUMED it would fit just because it fits on the '01+ models? If so, POST THAT PART! This thread is to name all parts that differ from the similar looking '99-00 GS and '01 to 05 GS.


There probably are not too many, but in my search to find lower control arm bushings for my '99, I found that the Roca bushings will not work. Which left me thinking, what else wouldnt fit?

BTW... I talked to Paul from Roca and he said that his product line is increasing and that he doesn't know whether they are coming out with bushings for our cars.

Has anyone here used the Roca caster arm/lower control arm bushings on their '98 99 2gs?

Anyway, the list continues... ?
1) Roca Bushings (Lower Control Arm/Caster Arm)

The '98 steering rack is different than the '99+ rack...if that counts.
