i've been wanting to get some coilovers and new shocks for awhile. talked to the people at ground control and they said you have to do some cutting and retrofitting with the old strut cartridges in order use the koni shocks. also on the koni web site it says some cutting and fitting is req'd before i start the project i'd like to know if i can finish it myself. i've seen lots of rides with the koni shocks can anyone who's done the swap write up a diy on it. pretty please

Here's how it works. On the rears, our struts/shocks were built into one housing. The shockes were welded into the struts. To use Koni's in the rear, you need to cut the old shock out, and weld in the Koni, fun eh? I would advise having an experienced shop do this. Front's are easy, they're just direct replacements for the cartridges that are already in there. Just be careful of all the oil when you take the stock ones out
