Replacing Struts and Mounts, OEM mounts and KYB moutns different? Options

[jordisonjr]

I've been lowered on Tien S-tech springs for a while now and my stock struts finally crapped out on me.
SO I'm in the market for new struts and strut mounts.
I was doing some searching on what struts everyone was running and Im pretty sure Ill be getting the KYB GR-2 struts, but what about the mounts.

I found a couple comments in threads saying that the KYB strut moutns were different from the OEM mounts, and actually made the car sit a little bit higher with the KYB mounts compared to the OEM.
Can anyone confirm this?

Should I order OEM mounts, or should KYB moutns be sufficient with Tien S-techs and KYB GR-2s?

From the pics, looks like a pair is an insert set and those are for the fronts but even at that, you can't rebuild them unless you have the non-sealed struts. IDK though on ebay I hate it when the pics don't match the description cus the description says complete. but then again their idea of complete just means it can be a set of 4 shocks and not a set of 4 complete assemblies. but according to kybs site, they are complete assemblies.

other than the mounts, you just need the strut bushings. Other things to check are your bearings, endlinks, sway bar bushings.

Alright thanks a lot. Endlinks have been replaced recently, Which beaering are you talkinga bout, the one in the mount, or the actual wheel bearing?
And where are the strut bushings located? I don't remember seeing any extra bushings when I lowered my Celica.
