Nope, RS specific and they are a larger diameter than than any other shocks in the range so not a straight swap. You're going to have to get your credit card out I'm afraid, good excuse to buy some K.W's though.

Set on eBay ATM finishing soon for £10 in Southampton. I'll be in Portsmouth in a few days if you wanted them collected and I'll post them at your cost?
