I posted those parts so that you wont have to take apart suspension just to use stock upper mounts.Anyways, I used 02 bearings and upper mounts. No problem at all.

nope you don't have to buy anything for the rears...just make sure to CUT the rear dust boots maybe i think it was 1/2" or 1/4"...not quite sure...but yeah cut those or you'll probably have to redo the rears when you hear the nasty crunching sound of the dust boots hitting the spring...and yeah all you need are the upper bearings for the front...everything else is reusable.

I think yours already come with the upper mount. I have a EX 03 and i have been doing research on the TEIN SS for the last 3 months to make sure im getting the right stuff. It seems like the TEINS are the best thing for your moneys worth. I have to buy the upper mounts for my car. Does anyone know where i can get the TEIN SS for the cheapest price?
