You should be able to reuse your factory hardware. You may want to go ahead and replace the front strut bearings while you have everything out.Edit: You also need to check if your new struts/shocks come with boots.

Well. I was needing to know a little more basic information.
I was wanting to know if i get coilovers, what else would i need with that? I know that some people have problems with there car after some aftermarket parts are installed and they end up needing one other thing.

When I helped Fezzik install his coil overs, I'm pretty sure it included everything. We did have to reuse the factory bump stops for the rear coils (and cut them in half), but I'm pretty sure that was it. You'll need a spring compressor to take the factory assemblies apart, but you can rent that at AZ.

Bought the suspention Monday. H&R Springs W/ Tokico Illuminas I heard on the .ORG that they are very good springs so we will see. I was going to go for the S Techs but i didnt know if i wanted it that low even thought it would have been pretty sweet looking, I didnt want it to jar my fillings out of my head.

The bearings are a little expensive. But i guess if you can only get them from dealer than your F'ed in the A.I paid about 10 dollars more for the boots so that wasnt a big deal.
