Sound very very risky to me. Might be hard to break the seal on the granite and always the chance of the granite itself breaking. Also you would need to level and plumb the new cabinets to match the counter height. If you are determined to do this. Instead trying to break the countertop seal and removing the existing cabinets in one piece. Cut the existing cabinets in half or thirds, up and down, remove each part, putting in the braces for the countertop. Braces should be at least1/8" to 1/4" taller so you can slip the new cabinet in. There would less stress on the countertop this way. Good luck! Can you post your project on Hometalk. I would love to see how this works out.
Have you considered refacing the cabinets rather than replacing. Repairing the existing cabinets as needed.
I would just reface the cabinets you have. Too risky. Granite is very heavy. Listen to William, he knows what he is talking about.
Can we see pictures? A lot of cabinets look dramatically different with a good paint job.
I'm thinking the same thing, but replacing the uppers and refacing the powers to match.
Yes, that plan is the best way. I have done it myself before.
