STi Struts

2004 STi Struts are direct bolt in to RS Correct? This is because of the 5x100 and the top strut mount pattern? They changed to 5x114 in 2005.

What about JDM 2002-2005 STi? They were still 5x100 up to 2005? Are they also direct bolt in?

Due to the inverted strut design they will stand up to off-road abuse more than my Gr2/Eibach Sport setup correct?

Thanks
