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

Most of the time that will work.
Some of the time that will break things. Not all nuts can take the beating you give  Some of the time you're under torque even though you're pushing as hard as you can. The rear suspension knuckle for example. That can cause things to fall apart down the road when you've forgotten about it. Borrow a torque wrench. Or buy one, they're neat. edit: thanks turbo!
