The Koni rear shocks are easy.....
The front shocks are a completely different story because they are cartridges which have to be placed in the original strut.

First you have to drill a hole in the bottom of the strut to release the gas and oil.
The hole has to be exactly in de centre because later it has to be drilled again for a 14 mm diameter hole to fit the screw which pulls and fixes the cartridge in the strut.

After the oil is drained from the strut the top has to be cut to release the original cartridge from the strut assy.
Due to a mistake in the manual some people cut the welding which holds the spring dish but I guess I was awake enough to discover the mistake before any damage was done.

This is an overview of the strut before and after the conversion.
All in all the job was not very difficult but time consuming.
