i ended up ordering what i hope are the correct units.
i probably should have pulled everything apart first but
didnt want to have the kickpanels out just in case i want
to take the car for a drive before the switches come in.

for replacement parts i usually deal with a company called
rockauto.com.

they sell mostly OEM parts and are very reasonable.
ended up with the front/rear KYB GR2 shocks i wanted and the door switches for $101 with the shipping.
