That would be cool if it could be done. From the looks of things, the struts mount differently to the car. If it is anything like the regular front upgrade, you'd have to replace the strut/knuckle assembly, and it doesn't appear to be anything like the older style.

Well lets show some interest people! My uncle is a long time GM mechanic, and he said it might be possible that the brackets would bolt up.
