What MR2 inserts fit the front?

Im starting to go insane, I saw it somewhere and forgot to write it down and im having troubles finding it again.

From what I understand I can use Koni Shocks from a foxbody mustang in the rear and that I can use MR2 inserts in the front struts (years 85-86) but I want to make sure. Also if you have a link or part number to the inserts I would really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Can anyone confirm this actually works/fits? Within a reasonable amount of adjustments.

Camber plates are not needed. You can run the stock mounts, but you need a bushing machined, just like you need with camber plates. No camber plates fit them perfectly. I ran them in my FB with ground control camber plates and I needed shims from Mazdatrix, then i had to have the shims machined
