I have a tip. Don't remove the spring compressor after you take the spring off the stock shock. I did this for some reason when doing a strut replacement. It took me forever to recompress that spring.

Other than that, no, It's really quite easy actually.

When putting the assembly back on the rears, you may need to use a floorjack to push up on the lower control arm. I've had to do that on a couple occasions.

If you have an Integra, you'll need a drill to make the hole in the stock dust covers a little bigger. The shaft of the Koni damper is a few mm greater than that of the stockers. There shouldn't be any other issues really.

cars come apart the way they look, (quote by a friend). It is real easy, just take it apart and put it back together. it should not take long.

have fun

Yep, not too dofficult. The only thing you gotta watch out for are tight *** bolts. That's what made me take such a long time.

Get a buddy to help you too. For example, he can hold one part, while you try and shove a bolt back in or something.
