How easy is it to install agx's

I want to know if I order the AGX's from cattman how much modification will i need to do. They describe it as already being modified but then say something about modifying the front strunt assembly. I don't know what the hell they are talking about. could someone please clarify

cattman modifies the rear struts to fit our cars. the fraonts are the same as 95-99 with the exception of the upper front strut mount wich must be replaced with the mounts form a 95-99 maxima. I believe these may be called j bolts if you want to get them from an auto parts store which may or may not be cheaper. you can also buy the front mounts from cattman...

So Cattman has everything that i need to do the install, meaning that "I" do not have to do any modifications of any sort?

not modifications persay just replacement of the upper strut mounts on the front of the car. you will probably want springs too which they sell as a pacage with the struts if you want to go with that which would be easier. cattman modified kyb agx with progress springs $570 and then scroll down on their online products to see the mounts that you will have to order $35 each or $70 for both. call em up and talk to them and get yourself a new suspension set up. ps if you order them ask them how much shipping is to 87418 for me and post it here
