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

Why type of performance difference do you get from swapping the stock Mcpherson setup to KYB? Smooth ride? Better handling? etc...LET ME KNOW PLEASE! I have to replace the struts in my 92..and if I like them,I will do it in my 97.
