What are the Requirments for changing my struts, New KYB's and S-Techs in the mail Options

[k-weaver]

Ok, so I have been wanting to change my suspension ever since I got my car and the time is finally coming. I just purchased and received some KYB GR-2's and my teins are in the mail. I just had a couple of questions on what is needed for the install.

1.) Can I use the orignal stock mounts that are at the top of the strut? (I'm refering to the piece that holds the spring on from the top end)

2.) I noticed that someone else recently did an install of the same set up and he used what appeared to be a rubber piece on the strut. Right where the spring would sit on the strut (bottom of strut), are these necessary?

3.) How hard are these bolts going to be to get off?

4.) Is there a certain way you need to place the spring onto the strut? Or can you just slap it on there?

Top nut should come with KYB's. I ordered new Strut Boots from Importrp.com like 13$ or something a pop. I ordered 2 and they sent 4? but those come with the new book along with a proper size bumper that you do not need to cut. I installed Stechs with the KYBGR2's make sure you grease the top of thwe spring like playr says it helps alot!!. For the insulators like i said before i reused mine they were torn a bit but shouldnt matter too much?
