Anyone ever use two right front struts in a car?

Here I am putting on a Winter Height suspension and all I can find in my pile of parts is two right front struts.

Apart from the obvious ABS and brake line connectors, can anyone see a reason why it would not work?

Both front springs are identical, so that is not an issue, both struts look identical, apart from the brake line and ABS connector - so...

Anyone got any ideas?

the upper spring perch will rub against the inner fender area. It will not work.

How about I use the correct spring perch - just use the right strut, and left spring and other parts..

Seems to work fine - drives fine too.....

Wonder if I can turn left now - since I have two right struts.....

Did you have any problems attaching the brake line on the strut that is on the wrong side?

Nope, a lot of people use zip ties anyway, so I just used them to attach the line to the abs line bolt.

I then used the older bc's brackets to attach the abs parts.
