JDM BRZ Struts different than USDM BRZ Struts?
 

I was arguing with the resident "STI guru" who works at my local Subaru service department and he stated OEM struts in the US are always different than JDM struts. Can anyone in JDM land confirm the part numbers of the BRZ struts? Also will need help on finding the USDM strut part numbers. I want to bury this myth, if it is one.

Side note: JDM 86 spring rates are different than the FR-S. Not sure if struts are different as well.
