Default RWD vs AWD Shocks & Springs

RWD vs AWD

Are the shocks the same?

Are the springs the same?

I have an AWD and im looking to replace my worn out shocks.

Also does any have exp with replacement shocks? Like say KYB brand on these cars?

Whats different in the front? The struts and springs or both are different?

Sewell shows different part #'s for front and rear shocks.

the springs are probably the same but i know the shock is different. The AWD ones have a C bracket on the bottom that goes around the axle.

Most places sell Kyb for rwd. Since Kyb doesn't have it for awd version. This happened to me when I was buying my shocks two month ago. I can sell u mine since I wanted to go back to my coilovers. I only used them for 800 miles now. Bought from dealer since I couldn't find them anywhere else.
