Default Advice needed

Im getting closer to installing a strano/koni setup real soon. I recently took my front shocks off my car. I took a look at my stock strut mounts and decided to get some new ones, the nut that holds the shock to the mount was unrecognizeable, so I didnt take my stock struts apart. I got my new mounts today, but is their anything else i need to get my new struts connected to my new mounts? Do I need any of the stock parts on my stock struts?

Yes... you need to lower spring isolator (it sits on the spring perch, under the stock spring). And most new shock mounts don't come with the pie-piece shaped insert that goes on top. If yours did, great. If not you need to visit a dealer for those too.
