Lots of cars use inserts.
Changing Mazda struts is BEAUTIFUL easy, if only because you don't have to realign the suspension afterwards if you're not changing springs at the same time. Unbolt the caliper, unbolt the bottom, unbolt the top, compres the spring and zip the upper mount off, swap the cartridge, throw it all back together, and you're done!

It get real easy when you don't have to worry about compressing the stock spring (when you switch to coil overs with short stuff springs)
I can take the whole strut assembly out in about 10-15 minutes per side.

i own a 81 and i decided to buy the rear-end and the brakes of a gsl-se, from a friend of mine, in order to get the lsd and the bigger brakes.
could i keep my old struts,inserts and rear shocks?
in conclusion what are the differences between 81 and se suspension?
