Anything else I should do while installing Tein SS?

I am going to be having a shop install my Tein SS coilovers from a Supra onto my SC400. Is there anything else you would recommend me having them do at this juncture? Also, is it ok to use the stock mounts? My car has 85k on it so I'm not sure if I need to swap out the bushings etc.

swap out the control are bushings while you're at it. It's a good idea to do so because you'll need another alignment when you change the bushings out again

For the control arm bushings, should I do fronts and rear? Or is one more prone to having issues than another? Also, do you think its ok to use the stock mounts with the coilovers? Those Tein mounts are quite pricey and I read that they don't add much because of the double wishbone suspension. Of course that is all regurgitation as I don't know what any of that means! :-.
