The fronts you still have to hack into a stock strut and drain the fluid and use it for fitment. The backs are direct bolt ons.

Pretty much. You drill a hole in the bottom of your stock strut and allow the fluid to drain out. Then take a saw-zaw or the equivalent to hack the bottom off. Then the koni slides in the bottom to basically utilies the stock mounting points of the stock strut.

There is a how-to. It sounds complicated, but in theory, it's really not all that hard. I plan on doing it again on my cobalt here this summer. Had them on my cavalier back in the day and the install was basically the same.

Both front and back on the struts run for around $500, but honestly suspension wise it's probably the best $500 you can spend.
