Having my car repainted this week and installing factory skirts.

I want to also lower the ride with eibach sportline springs and install new shocks/struts without having to cut anything. Seems KYB is the oem choice. Also read in a few posts, guys suggesting changing a few other items? Is it better to have the eibach alignment kit installed? Should the bushings or swaybar links be changed also?

car: '94 Celica ST Coupe

Parts and #'s so far:

Eibach Sportline Springs: 4.0782
Kyb GR-2:
front right: 365092
front left: 365092
rear left sturt: 334126
rear right strut: 334125
front right mount: sm5164
front left mount: sm5164
rear right mount: sm5087
rear left mount: sm5087
front right boot: sb103

No you don't need the alignment kit, our cars come adjustable from the factory. Just go get your car aligned after you changer your struts and lower your car.

Do we need the right and left front mount? I know tirerack.com doesn't sell it, but I didn't read of anyone ordering this?

I replaced my OEM's with KYB's not too long ago. Well no longer then a month ago. I was going to change the front mounts but after inspecting my fronts they were ok. I don't think it's that necessary to replace them. If you REALLY want ALL new parts...then order them, but it's up to you.

If you need the PN's I got them available...
KYB-SM5164
$40 each at coximport.com

Edit: woops didn't see you already had the PN's for the fronts already listed.

You don't need to replace the bushings unless you're maybe getting swaybars.
I DO suggest changing your RR Swaybar link. Since you have a 94 it might and could be a pain to remove your RR links. I changed mine and replaced with the TRW's. It would be wise to do so, that way you won't risk stripping that Hex head when removing your RR strut.

Check www.partsamerica.com, www.rockauto.com, local Murrays, etc. for them.
If you need PN's for those also I have them available along with pics of my KYB/TEIN install.
