There are some parts of the assembly that will be reused.

Something like this:

Yes, many of the stock parts are re-used. Anything that didnt come with the shocks will be re-used, such as the spring perch, the upper a-arm assembly, and the rubber thing in the middle.

No problem, make sure you keep a close eye on the shock when you are taking it apart so you know what goes where. There is this small bushing thats easy to miss and you might forget to re-install it. Although I think the shocks come with new bushings, mine did.
