08 Impala struts on 99 gp?

I was browsing for struts the other day, and found some Bilsteins for an 08 Impala, which got me wondering if they would bolt up to my GTP without too much fuss. I would think all of the mounts would be the same, and the weight should be at least similar on either vehicle. Of course, if I could find b6's for my 99, if just go with that, but they don't seem to exist. Has anyone put Impala struts on their gp?
99 GTP:
ZZP FWI , ZZP 3" catted DP, Resonator delete,The occasional Poly bushing, ZZP front sway Bar, NGK TR6's, LED Headlights, 180* TStat, Anti- pogo washers ...This list seemed a lot longer before I started typing....

Disregard, the struts are gone now either way.

I think the rears would have worked. depending on the sway bar setup which changed on 04+ the fronts might not have worked properly

It *looked* like all the mounting points were in the same places, and with the sway bars mouting to the control arm, and not the strut body in the front, I'd imagine that would line up, unless maybe the strut diameter got in the way, some how. guess if I ever locate another set, I'll just have to chance it, and go with agx's in the meantime. Just sucks, I have almost all of my front end stuff together, and it would have been a good time to do it.
