1. Tubs are exactly the same.
2. 18" became a regular factory option in 2001 and very late production 2000 cars after the factory tub modification. And no, we are unaware of telling when the modifications become standard as it was done during the production year, so unless you know for a fact that car was delivered with 18", putting them on a 2000 runs a risk.
