F sport shock swap to standard shock

The only difference in the suspension between the normal and F-Sport models is the added bracing and the shocks. The springs, arms, bushings, sway bars, etc., are all the same.
As for the serrations vs. non-serrated, the early shocks were all serrated and they were updated to the non-serrated type. The shocks should have come with a piece of paper explaining the change, as well as information about the updated upper bolt and a change in the torque specifications. When I changed out the rear shocks on my RX last week this was all included. Even as they are torqued from the factory, the serrations tend to spin in the mounting and get "worn." When I removed the factory shocks they were almost worn flat.
