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

the fronts are full replacements if your Celica had the performance option included and the KYB cartridges won't work. TireRack does not sell them, nor did they even know about that option when I bought mine. The only place to get a new full cartridge with the performance option is through Toyota - and at a whopping 250 or more each - you may be discouraged, I was.
I ended up with the KYB in the rear and Eibach Pro Kit springs all around. The fronts are still fine after 80K, but I can't help wonder how much better it would feel if I replaced the fronts too - but didn't have the extra 600 beans. Huge difference between stock shocks / springs and the KYB Rear and Eibach springs all around combination - turns tight! - Well worth it!
