Will early S197 struts/shocks fit later models?

Looking at picking up a nice used set of aftermarket struts shocks for my 2011 GT. I found a set but their off a 2007 GT. Will they fit my car? Thanks ya'll!

What's wrong with buying 1's specifically designed for your car?

You need to show me 2011-up specific struts. All I see is them labeled 05-13

Yes you can use any S197 struts on an 11-up car. In order to use '10 and older struts you need to use the GT500 strut mounts.

I wouldnt go with used though but yea they will work
