I thought GTO struts would need a provision for CV hubs (ie drive to the front wheels). The ones you have shown are RWD struts.

Am I missing something?

^^^ yeah just be aware widebody and narrowbody struts arent interchangeable, unless u also swap steering arms, lower control arms, tie rods, and the inner mounting point on the crossmember is also .4 of an inch higher to change the roll centre. the widey front end is about 60-70mm wider track than a narrow.
