Well, I just went ahead and installed them. They fit, but the passenger side is definitely different with a smooth top rather than the top with ridges. Kind of a PITA job for an old guy. Up and down, up and down, on the cold garage floor. But hey, at least I have a garage floor! Impact wrench helps for the bottom bolts. Top driver's side is difficult access but it came free. And you have to jack the engine up cringingly high to get the new ones in, but that's what it takes.

Anyway, as usual (my third set at about 100K miles each) the improvement is dramatic!
