Default Shocks

Hey all I just had a question, is there any difference between the shocks/struts on the awd rx and the fwd rx? Would the ones for a fwd fit without a problem or would I need the ones for a awd? Thanks!

The front struts are the same (~99% positive on this) between the FWD and AWD models. The rear struts on the AWD model have a metal mounting tab welded to the strut body that the FWD part number does not. This tab is a mounting bracket for something (can't remember exactly - brake line I think).
