thanks man ohh i get them confused all the times yea basically the rear are struts and in the front u need to replace i guess the cartilage something like that (GR-2® Brand Cartridges) and the struts are GR-2® Brand Gas Struts

So what you all are saying is all I need is struts all the way around, and there are no shocks on the celi?

If the KYB's are just OEM replacements, why get em? If you want stock, your car came with it.
Go Koni Yellow. Koni's 8-way adjustable struts will own ANY kyb.

Some of us dont need Rally quality struts. I just need something that'll last through my drop and everyday driving. I know that my current stock struts couldn't handle it and the KYB's are a perfect match. KYB = 200. Koni = 600 and then need custom work as I've heard. I dont rally cross so I'll be fine with stock struts for my pavement battling Celica.
You're stock shocks will handle the drop. I'm riding on a 1.75 (tom's springs) drop for some time now. But I will buy Koni's once I get a few more bucks.
And you don't have to rally to appreicate Koni's. You can soften up the ride so you ride like a Lexus and your girlfriend stops bitching. (I've always been a fan of just smacking her and telling to shutup, but whatever works) Or you can stiffen em up to go have a spirted drive on curve roads.
I just feel like, if OEM toyota struts and KYBs are the same, why shell out extra money just for the name?

I cant get konis because I have $1000 worth of other suspension work that needs to be done, since ive put my car through so much crap my suspension is completley going to crap so i need a lot of stuff.
