i bought the rear gr-2 struts and am looking for the front. i was wondering how difficult it was to interchange the stock strut with the kyb gr-2 cartridge. or, where could i find some koni front struts. thanks

You most certainly do. Preferably one that goes up to 150 lb-ft. Check out my site (linked below), it has some info on the procedure.
I also recommend a pipe wrench for the strut inserts. For me a vice didn't do the trick. Other things... you may want a file and some paint to kill any rust you run across. High temp bearing grease is a must. Strut boots may be necessary if yours are in bad shape. Be prepared for needing to order a part if you discover something broken. edit: If you don't have the torques, I recommend getting a Chilton's. Well worth the money. If not, pm me and I'll send 'em to you. This post has been edited by mr_dude: Aug 26, 2004 - 2:12 PM --------------------  |
