arent the kyb's the same as the shocks on my celi cause if so.. why get them?

Well I installed shocks last year on my 99gt. and had lots of trouble putting them on. First of all I had to open up my old shocks and fit the replacement kyb shock in the toyota strut.( which is also from kyb) they just didn't fit right the replacement.
Shock was too small for the strut. I had to put washers to the shock in place. And the icing on the cake was trying to close the top.
cause the original strut is a shock on its own I had to take apart the shell to replace my shock but the top of the strut is not a screw on cap like kyb supplies in the box and you'll see that you will have trouble putting them on. I had to weld my top cap in place cause at that point me car was unrivaled after taking taking apart me original shock. What a pain in d ass! My advise, get full struts no replacement cartridges.
but after all that head ach they still cartridge still moves around in the original strut but the car drives better that stock.
