Default Koni yellow install.

I'm currently running KG/mm Supersport springs on stock shocks.
I want to replace stock shocks,with Koni Yellow.
I would like to run the front Koni on the lower perch,to get an additional 0.5 inch drop in the front,while leaving the rear Koni on the higher perch,in order to get a little rake.(1/2 inch)
First question:

1-)Can I do that,is it O.K.to do it?

2-)Someone told me,the Koni will have to be modified to fit the KG/mm,something like drilling a 12mm.hole in the pillow block,I dont understand,please explain.(is this mod.(drillling),for both front and rear,is it only to install on lower perch.Please clarify if possible.
What and where do I have do drill exactly?

Search function is down.
Looked in FAQ.but it only says you have to enlarge dust cover hole;is that the 12mm.drilling?

Thanks.
Emil.

I will try to explain my best here.

You should set all four corners on lower perch since they don't give you too much drop on the rear anyways. if you put front on lower and rear on upper, rear will be too high i guess..

You will need to make the hole bigger in order to put the konis through. it's not that hard, but it takes a little time. You have to have right tools to do this, a power drill is what you need.

Hope this helps.
And you should of bought the whole set up from me, then you don't have to worry about the install

So KG and Koni is a good set-up?
I was under the impression that Koni were a direct bolt;what modification does
it involve?
How much did you sell your Koni ?
Know where i can get some,and what would the best price be?
The mechanic who installed the springs,told me it was unsafe to run OEM shockswith them!
