oh ok got it... and for the front is it only the top caps that are different? can the caps be swapped on the familiar shocks from Astina?

top plates are different yes, shock will fit. again they may be valved differently. and only a shock from a SP model will fit.

Your best bet is to look at catelogues.
If they show the same part number for both then you're in luck.

But why only SP? how different is the SP shock from non SP model?
