Swapping to MR Bilsteins suspension from stock Evo 9 Suspension
Hey guys,
So i'll be swapping over to MR Bilstein struts with stock MR springs from my factory 9 suspension. I purchased super low mileage Bilstein struts that i will be installing factory MR springs on. My question is this, will everything from my stock suspension swap over to the Bilsteins? (Dust covers, top hats/mounts, etc.) I was told by the guy who i purchased the struts from that everything will swap right over to the Bilsteins. I only have the bare MR struts and MR springs and want to make sure that i'll have everything i need to install the new suspension before i start tearing into the car. Thanks ahead of time for any and all help!

So you used your stock top hats and other components? I just really don't want to get it torn apart then find out i don't have the right parts

Everything is the same design. You can reuse all the stock oem shock components on the bilsteins.
