ok, so after reading this entire section and not completely finding my answer, I have this question. I need to replace my struts, and at least rear strut mounts. now what else in the assembly should/do i need to replace? I am planning to go with the kyb gr2's and kyb mounts. do the mounts come with bearings? any other parts commonly wear out? car has almost 160k on it. is there a way to tell if I need front mounts before I take them apart? also does anyone know of a place cheaper than Import Replacement Parts? Any other advice tips in changing my struts would be appreciated. I have never done them before, but am mechanically capable. I have a chilton's manual for my car, (95 gt liftback) for reference, but everything seems pretty straight foward. not sure if i have the sport suspension package or not... will check tomorrow. If i have the normal suspension, what is different in the precedure? am I just undoing an extra nut, and inserting a cartridge and putting the nut back on vs. just replacing the entire piece?

get the whole assembly, if your car is rusty at all, you dont want to deal with getting a rusty nut off. i looked at the website for a 99 and they carry all 4 struts. you might need new sway end links too.
