Changing Strut Mounts
When replacing new shocks and springs, is it necessary to replace the strut mounts also?

You can reuse your old ones if there isn't anything wrong with them.

just check the bearing on the strut mount first. if its *ucked up then change it. no big deal though.

The rears are stamped metal, unless they are excessively rusty, they are fine.
The fronts have bearings in them, as long as the bearing is in good condition, it can be reused.
