Default Got a small problem with new KYB GR-2 strut.

So i purchased a set of GR-2 struts on eBay a few weeks ago. I had them put in maybe about 2 weeks ago and all went well except for one. I got to the shop and my mechanic said "they sent you the wrong one". He got all 3 struts in except for the driverside-rear. So i call the place i purchased them from and the guy says that the back struts are the same part number. So i look online and it appears he is correct. I then call my mechanic and he tells me that there's no way that its going in and that even he even asked another guy at the shop in which they'd agreed.

So onto my second problem, i try calling and emailing this guy back and he's not responding. Anyways thats not why i'm here.

I'm hoping someone can verify with these pictures if they look correct.

I have the same struts on mine, and as far as i can tell that LOOKS like the right one. Granted i put them on a while ago and don't really remember exactly what they look like.

yeah it looks to be the correct one but you cant really tell for sure without comparing them side by side or checking the part # (i cant remember if it's stamped on the shock or not)

I guess im gonna have to wait till the weather warms up and check this one out myself..

Its just hard to believe that my mechanic could put 3 in and think that one of them would be wrong.
