noob suspension question Options

[Red_Phoenix]

My rear strut mounts are bad. I just bought a full coilover kit and it comes w/ the upper ball mounts. Heres the dumb question.....you ready? Do i need to replace the strut mounts before i install them or will i not be using them? I needed to replace the strut mounts to pass inspection hence the reason for asking. Any response is appreciated thanks.

This will be my first mod on my celica and suspension mod on any car that i owned, i was just curious and slightly confused but i realized what the assembly consisted of.

im new to all of this too, how hard was it to do the coilovers? time tools?

I could not get the main bolts loosened with regular tools or an electric impact wrench, an air powered impact wrench was necessary. Other than that, pretty easy. Adjusting the height is kinda time consuming, if you don't like the height its set at you have to lift the car up again, take each wheel off, adjust each lock, count the threads, etc.
