SOOOO would using the b11 struts be an upgrade as long as they bolt in correctly and the spring perchs are right?

from the pics im seeing the spring perches seem smaller.

i think you'd have to either change the perches or use springs that fit, an prolly have to source b11 top hats, prolly a big hassle.. i was just lookin for something to hold me over until i can do some csk's cause my agx's are blown now

B12 suspension does bolt up, but that B11, not sure.
