Reusing top hat? (1 Viewer)

[coues32]

Ironman unassembled fcp suspension will be arriving soon.

GX is rust free Vegas car ,don't think seen much dirt roads with 138k on it.
Is there anything that should be replaced for coil overs or just assemble what I have?

Can you see the bushings in the top that hold the strut? Those I would plan to replace just for good measure. Other than that, as long as the studs are good and you can stand the downtime needed to break down the old and assemble the new then there isn't any reason they can't be re-used. I picked up some new KYB units off Amazon for about $25 each. Comes with the bushings, washers and nuts for the installation of the new components.

Perfect, no issue with aftermarket quality?

I used the KYB shock mounts to save down-time and have not had any problems in 20k miles.
