Didn't think they were different from the cars - but there are two different spring pan heights, so you need to check this on yours. Pretty sure I have at least one of each height, new and boxed. Get your tape measure out and pm me.

Car shocks are the same as Van shocks aside from possible spring pan height difference. Shocks should always be replaced as pairs to ensure even handling.

I don't think it matters which one you go for, it just means your van will sit 14mm higher or lower or the same, but if you want it as it is now you need to measure the pan height from bottom of seat pan to bottom hole on the side of the strut. Prices are dirt cheap to. But I went for gas shocks by Kayaba, and the lowest pan heights front and rear. £27ea for fronts, but £8.50ea for rears! (from Camskill Performance, online)

Can't argue with that 10 quid for pair fronts! and 9.99 post so total 19.99 pair. Even if they are factor parts that's good for fronts.
