Before I order parts and pull off the suspension on my '94 GT, I was wondering if I should change the strut mounts. I need to do all four corners, and I know that I need the entire strut assembly for the back, but I was wondering if I could just use inserts on the front. If not, I suppose I should get some konis since they are only a few dollars different than Toyota OEM's. I'm also going to check with my local Toyota dealership to get all the dirtly details from the mechanics, but all the help that ya'll can give me would be appreciated.
If anybody has any suggestions on other parts manufacturers to use I'd be much obliged. Probably going to order the peices and parts from Tirerack.com, but I always keep my options open. Secondly, I heard that somebody was doing a group buy for rear strut braces... any idea who that was? MAybe it was on Celica.net...

Thanks.

sorry junior, the konis DO NOT fit it the rears, the rear strut housing must be cut & welded to the shock. the fronts are a drop in thing.
