on a similar note, has anyone tried the Koni inserts for the Corolla? These are the ones that require cutting the original strut and inserting the Koni cartridge. Again, Koni makes them for the Corolla but not the Matrix/Vibe. But you can probably cut an OEM Matrix/Vibe strut open and install the Ko...

I know the Matrix and Vibe are basically Corolla wagons. Are their shocks and struts interchangeable? That is, can you use Corolla struts on a non-AWD Matrix, Vibe, or Voltz 2003-2006?

Like these Bilstein HD shocks and struts:
