What is the difference in struts for Evo X and Evo8/9?Is it possible to use 8/9 Bilstein B6 on Evo X ? Does anybody know bilstein part numbers, for bilstein struts on Evo X?

The prior-gens don't bolt up to the X. I had some really expensive shocks on my 9 I would've kept if they did, so I asked.
Like anything else, I would imagine with enough time and money, you could make anything fit, but it'd be a waste anyway. A shock specifically made for a particular vehicle, takes into account it's weight, and suspension rate(s) just to name a couple factors. If you graft a shock from another vehicle on to another, your spring rates, valving, and even travel could be way off.

Btwn 8/9 and 10.
The front struts will bolt on. The front top mounts won't. Bolt circle is different.
The rear shocks won't bolt up, but the rear top mounts do. Funny eh?
