Thanks Andrew, I'm happy to have made the decision....finally.
Did you use the original stock top rubber mounts (F&R) when you installed yours? This is what I'm planning to do unless others here see a better strategy. Any other installation concerns? I have a spring compressor ready to go along with all the tools.
Thanks in advance....

I think the back will come with solid mounts from KW.

Thanks Steve, I don't have buyers remorse today, so that's a good sign.
Daryl, I think you are right about the rear mounts. I downloaded intructions for my particular kit last night, and it sure looks like the backs are complete units. I'll only need to monkey with the fronts, hopefully. Do you or anybody here know the part numbers for the sensor pod housing and the little clip that holds the ABS line onto the shock bodies. The ones on my current shocks look like they will break off if I try and re-use them. Very brittle.
Nevermind, I located the part numbers from the AutoAtlanta. Very cool website. Locate what you want and there is a blowup of each component with part numbers. Excellent. Just ordered what I needed from Sunset. Done...
Thank You all for your words of encouragement, and assistance.
