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? --------------------  |

Actually, the stock strut housing isn't made for changeable inserts. You have to cut the housing open at the top, take the old insert out, put the new one in, and then weld the top back on. There is also a bolt in the bottom of the struts to bolt it to the housing. |
