Difference in 05-07 vs 08+ Fe5 struts

Hey guys need to order new struts, going with fe5's just had a few questions. CED has 2 two types 05-07's and 08+. Whats the difference?

and can I re use my FE1 endlinks with FE5 struts? i just got them new a few months ago.

Sorry if this has been covered again but couldnt find direct answer's search and I want to order these asap to kill my terrible ride on megan springs.

Also, just ordered tsudo exhaust, and im about to order my roof rack as well! God bless tax returns and on top of that, got a spare set of headlights and sent them out for retro at TRS!

The 08+ struts and shocks are from the LNF. Earlier ones are from the LSJ. I don't know exactly what the difference is, just that the LNF's are supposed to be better. As for the endlinks I would think they should work fine but I don't know for sure. Let me know though because I want to do the FE5 struts and shocks too and was wondering the same thing.

not sure others will chime in but if you have the fe1 links then i think they will be too long. id just buy fe5 links or get the moog for $55 shipped at rock auto for Fe5 struts.
