I loved my setup so much that i think i want to replace it in kind (MR Bilsteins w/ Swift springs). In trying to price out my options (coilovers vs. bilsteins), it looks like a wash if i compare to BC racing coilovers.

First question, is there any downside to re-using the swift springs? I've run this setup for probably 60k miles. The strut is what has the issue, but the springs look fine.

Second question is what other components do i need to perform the refresh? OEM strut top mounts? I can find the front top mounts anywhere, but the rear tops were confusing after seeing pictures of the options on RockAuto.

Any help is appreciated!
Hey Andy I ordered everything except the struts/shocks from STM. I can get you a list of parts if you want...probably cheaper options out there if you shop around and don't care if parts are OEM.
