So I've been searching a fair amount, and have only found a clear answer for the Evo X on this one. I am purchasing a set of KW V3 coilovers without top hats for my Evo VIII, and would like to buy the OEM mounting items needed to install them as well. I want to keep two complete sets of suspension, so I don't want to reuse my old factory components.

Here are the parts break downs fro Mitsubishi:





For the front, I am running a set of Cusco pillow ball camber plates. So I am thinking I wll only need numbers 12,13,14, and 16. Not sure if the KWs include top nuts or not. They're cheap, so I might as well order them.

For the rear, I am thinking I will need numbers 4-12. But I might not need all of that?

If anyone with experience could chime in for me and anyone else that may have this question in the future, I'd appreciate the advice. Thanks!

If you have part #'s for those items I can see if we can special order them.

 

if you know this will work with stock top hats then ill take your word for it. based on that...

for the front, #12 is a dust boot, which your coilovers should have not to mention stock prob wont fit correctly
#13 is the bump stop, again i dont see why you would swap this even if it fit (i.e. matching piston diameter)
#14 is the upper spring perch, which is definitely useless for your coilovers

pretty much the same goes for the rear

I would have to say the parts you would need would be..
Front: 15, 16, 17
Rear: 8-12

Im speaking from numerous times disassembling these components from my coilovers as well as stock suspension... but then again i never tried to interchange these components

edit: I have my stock suspension in my basement with all of these parts if you want them, they had 20K miles when taken off

 

I ordered a lot more parts than I actually needed for the suspension assembly, but I couldn't find a straight answer anywhere as to which pieces were actually needed.

I didn't need anything for the front (aside from the Cusco pillow ball mounts I purchased,) and only needed four parts for the rear assemblies. Here's a shot of what I needed for the rear and the part numbers:





Assembled and ready to go on the car (when I manage to get some free time):



Hopefully this information will be useful to someone!
