Help on buying struts

Hi, this will be my first post.

I own a 93lx and have the sprint 2" springs installed on it. Now I am wanting to buy the KYB GR-2 struts as my factory struts are now about worthless. I am only going to buy the front set for now untill I have more money. I was planning on buying them from NOPI but they only have the front left strut listed, none for the front right. My question is can I use the left strut on the right side or are they specifically made for left/right side?
Thanks!

they are left and right dependent. You can't use a left side on the right or vice versa.

The main thing that makes them left/right dependent is the brake line clip. Some manufacturers just put one on both sides so that the strut can be used on either side (Monroe Sensatracs are that way).

I don't know if the GR2s are that way or not, although the Tire Rack lists separate right and left sides. (For $51 each).
