Tein basic coilovers and Top mount bearing

Ok, i've finally broken down and decided to fork over the money for some coilovers for my 02 si.. I want a comfortable sporty ride, and I hope the tein basics are the way to go. But no matter what coilovers i look at most of them say i need an 01 civic top mount bearing, or plastic OEM upper strut bearing adapter kit. Where can i find these things? i even have a honda part number and i can't seem to locate it. (51726-S5A-004). Any help would be appreciated. oh yeah, and now i have more questions. anyone know the stock spring rate for an 02 civic si?

You have an ep3. If so, then use your ep3 mounts. The mount issue only is for em2/es1.

Tein's site has the spring rates... www.tein.com

I belive you'll have to use strut bearrings from your factory struts.
This is how it was with my Tein SS.
