Installing Modded AGX's......

ok, i've done suspension setups before. so i consider myself mechanically inclinded to do them again. as far as the modified kyb's go, if i were to purchase them already modified, cattman's set, and get the 4th gen strut mounts that are needed, would this make the job a 100% pug and play job or is there still fidgeting around and/or modding that has to be done to the car itself for the job to be complete. my first thoughts were to get the kyb's normally and then have a shop do the rest, but then thinking about it, i thought hell i can do the job myself if i were given the kyb's already fixed to fit.

so, has anyone done it themselves where they can add any tips or does anyone simply know if anything else needs to be done if i recieve them already modified? thanx people.

Dude ... I wish I could help but I paid my mechanic $150 to install them along with my GC coilovers.

I THINK that with the 4th gen mounts ... it's a plug & play.

My mechanic had a little extra work to do b/c he was installing these in combo with the GC's ..

Anyone else?

Apparently the rear pass was very difficult. Also, using the 4th gen strut mounts was apparently much harder than a plug and play. This is coming from the guys who did mine (but they are complete fukking idiots).

yeah, i feel that with the mounts and the modded kyb's, that would be all i need. it has to be or else cattman wouldn't sell them like that.
i figure i could save the 150-200 install by doing it myself. i have access to air tools, compressors, etc....
let's hope someone has more input.
