RE: Replacement Parts/advice
I've decided to replace all four struts and springs with factory OE (no coilovers).. That said, I would like some advice on other replacement parts such as upper strut plate, insulator(s) ect.. Has anyone had a need to replace these associated parts when replacing the strut? Would just replacing the strut and spring be adequate?
Thanks much..

If your just doing OE, not much you'll need to do. Just inspect the strut mounts and bushings, if they're not cracked or worn looking, there is no need to replace. Just check the alignment afterwards. If you're lowering it that's a whole different story

There's really no need for all that, unless something is loose or worn...but it's probably not.

On my case I destroyed a set of 20's DWS's, due to worn bushings. My bushings all apeared to be good even had a few shops fully inspect and test them. The alignment was also good, but I still had uneven tread that got worse over time.
