The way the bumper shocks are made is different, but I believe you could replace them with the SA ones and it be bolt in. I'm looking at my SA now that I'm dismantelling and it does *look* the same as far as how the bumper struts mount.

to run FB aftermarket front bumpers on an SA dont you have to swap over: shocks, fenders, and bumper? if so, wouldnt you need to swap all that to do your swap? i have an SA that i may end up swapping an FB front onto so i can run an IMSA front bumper.

If I reading your question right the answer would be yes. Not difficult to do if you already have the parts. And from what I see between the SA and FB fenders you should be okay running the IMSA bumper with your SA fenders and just swaping the FB bumper. The only diff. (anyone please correct me if I'm wrong) in the SA/FB fenders is the lower front... where as the FB's are formed for the integrated air damn. With the bumper cover I would think this wouldn't be an issue now.
