Default Help with 2006 coilovers

Id like to convert my front suspension to coil overs. Looking through a thread the guy below used a trunnion mount and used the shock mount as his CO mount. Can this handle the daily stresses or is it a mistake waiting to happen?

Would I be able to do the same as this guy did on my 2006 RCSB?

Id also like to do the rear at a later date but thats pretty self explanatory.

Thanks,
Kretty

I really want to do this too and read the same post. The more I thought about it the more it seems a bit dodgy. Thats alot of stress on two little bolts on the bottom and one bolt through the shock mount. Lower could be fixed rather easy with the $600 strong arm lower arms. But how to improve the top mount?
