Just doing a sanity check on the rubber parts that should be changed when changing out the shocks. Is there anything I am missing or wouldn't really need to replace? I want to get this right the first time :) I know Z1 has a "kit" for $250, of which most of the cost seems to be from new mounting brackets which I would think can be reused unless I'm missing something as to why they would need to be replaced.

Starting from the bottom up:
