I'm looking for some tips on the best way to install a Kohler undermount sink with a Silestone bathroom vanity top. Here is a link describing the sink:

How should this sink be installed? I have not been able to locate a Kohler undermount kit designed specifically for this sink. Are there "universal" mounts I can buy that will work?
Any problems with drilling holes in Silestone? Or is there an installation option that requires no holes to be drilled? Any suggestions pointing me in the right direction on this project would be appreciated.

I have a double bowl Kohler undermount in my kitchen. When I purchased the sink I also bought the undermount kit. When the granite guys instaled my countertop they told me it was not necessary. They used a couple of 2X4 supports under the sink lip and pocket screwed into the cabinet.
