i had heard before that you had to change the rear top mounts, but otherwise a straight swap.

that said, i have put 95 starlet shocks and springs into a 98 and vice versa with different cars before and never had to change anything, they were a direct swap. so i'd say you'l be fine to work away tbh.

Ah well ill get a set out of someones car to try before i buy sort of thing.would hate to end up stuck with a set and be 60-100 quid down haha.so going on your advice, ill try a set and hope for the best.surely the tops wouldnt be hard change

i wouldn't be afraid to buy them, they'l 100% fit your car. just worst case scenario you'l have to use the top mounts from you're old shocks, but even that is unlikely.

Are top mounts hard to change?

not as such no, a couple of minutes each careful though, probably best invest in spring compressors.
