About to order some GR2s. I know with Koni's you have to cut the front struts for the insert. Is it the same with the KYBs?

Defninitely need alignment unless you want your tires to look hella funny in 3,000 miles. The alignment shop will probably tell you if they can successfully align you. If not, you need the kit.

I have Pro-Kit. The drop is, like they say, about an inch. Eibach says any more than that will lose the vertical clearance you need for spring compression and extension. That is, the Sportlines are...

So any experiences on buying first gen vs second gen decks? Will Alpine have learned anything from their first go-around at MP3 players that might convince me to get a new unit?
