front suspension GT-S into SR5

I have an SR5 but I also have a GTS parts car of the same year. I know the GTS comes with the serviceable front suspension parts (cartridges as opposed to sealed housing).
If I were to buy new Tokico cartridges (or any sporty-er cartridges) for the GTS housings, could I replace the SR-5's sealed housings with the GTS parts? Or is modification required?

it will all work.

while you're at it pull the control arms and swaybar from the gts (you will have to unbolt the cat on both cars) and swap it all into your SR5.

That's going to be a summer project for me, converting the rear brakes
On a positive note, I should have my FC back this week from body shop, next project on that one is FMIC and new Clutch/Pressure Plate.
But the front suspension on my SR5 is what's bugging me right now, but I didn't know the SR5 front suspension was different from the GTS until like yesterday. That's why I'm going trying to swap that out ASAP.
