Strut mount bushings & dust boot if needed. Cut the old bump stops in half to shorten them.
Leave the struts on the softest setting for the first 500-750 miles Do not leave them on the hardest settings for long periods of time

Teins got the pillow ball mounts that will be good for about 150

Sounds good. BTW what are you talking about Spectre927. What is the pillow ball mounts?
Nevermind just went to their website and found out. BTW I noticed on tire rack they have kyb strut mounts. Would those be better than the ones at autozone and such.

The pillow ball mounts are nice, IMO not worth the money unless your racing or have nice coilover set-up.
KYB's are a little stiffer than OEM/autozone bushings

I have the KYB's and think they are decent.
There is a clunking from the rear once in a while, can't tell if its the upper mount or the spring moving around. When she comes back from the body shop I'll check it out. http://www.kyb.com/shocks/dboots.html

Are those adjustable coilovers? If so get your car corner weighed and it will handle even better

Tein S Tech's are non-adjustable springs

Re: Just got new spring/shocks what else should I replace?
So I got the strut mount bushings today and I noticed that the coil springs seats look a little worn. Do they typically wear out and should I replace them?
I am also wondering what the brown pieces of rubber that cover a few of the coils in the rear springs are.
