Default MK2 Focus RS suspension on a standard MK2 Focus

I haven't got a clue and google brought up nothing so thought I'd ask here, might be a daft question!

Will a MK2 Focus RS suspension fit on a standard MK2 Focus?

A shock has gone on the front left at 125k miles and might be able to get front and rear RS suspension on the cheap that hasn't done many miles, so might just replace the whole lot for peace of mind.

May be wrong but the RS has a wider track front and rear. Also the Revo Knuckles on the front so doubt its a straight swap...

When you say cheap. How cheap is cheap. For the sakes of a 50 quid shocker is it worth fooking about fitting all the mk2 frs suspension.

About £200, but if it isn't just a straight swap I don't think I'll bother with the hassle of it.
