About to order some GR2s. I know with Koni's you have to cut the front struts for the insert. Is it the same with the KYBs?
The rears come with the housing (I think), but the fronts are just inserts. Do they nicely slide into place or do I need to do some cutting? --------------------  |

Well I got them installed and I must say, the Eibach/KYB combo is bad ass. Makes me really want to get sway bars and strut bars now. Threw the car around a bit and was getting excellent balance (tire squealing) from all around. Thanks to everyone for your suggestions/help.
I've written down the experiences (too much to read, but easily scannable). Perhaps it will be useful for people who haven't done it. Let's just say there were some unforseen difficulties. http://chrisritchie.org/journal/Journal.html Pictures will come soon, just need to finish off the roll.
