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

No they're not. Well the RR doesn't need to be welded that is. The FRT's are drop in cartridges that you'll need to drain the oil from your stock then insert the inserts, etc. Then the RR's come in a complete assembly, so you just swap your old stock shock assembly and put in the KYB's. Simple as that.
