I order springs and shocks from Sam the other day, I know I have awhile to wait on the back order but I want to go ahead and get everything I need.

I want to assemble the new shocks and springs without disassembling the decarbons. So what all do I need. I know I will need 2 shock mounts, 2 insulator pads and some hardware. Do I need anything else?

btw, the reason for this is so if I ever sell or God forbid wreak the car, I can easily replace the expensive Strano/Koni's with the original parts to use again. Also, I really don't want to mess with disassembling the stock stuff.

gonna need the upper strut mount and the pad on top... I would get a used one off a salvage yard on ebay, new ones last I checked were around $150 I think.

You would be better off disassembling the stock setup. You should also get an adjustable panhard bar and LCA relocation brackets.

You need the upper shock mount assemblies (best to buy GM ones). And you need the 2 lower spring isolators for the front (sits on the spring perch, under the springs). That's all you'll need extra to have them ready to bolt in.

So nothing is needed for the rears, we simply install them?

Correct.

We only need that if the part in the car is fubared right?

Those parts are reuseable in any normal circumstance... The OP was asking what he needed to buy to assemble the Koni's and Strano Spring while keeping his stock stuff assembled too.....

To help with future repair/replacement work replace the top shock shaft nut with a stainless steel nut. Makes the corrosion issue a thing of the past.

How much are brand new upper strut mount assemblies from GM? Someone mentioned earlier that its two upper mounts and two pads of some sort. Im guessing this all comes in a kit?

Same question that Striker has. Part numbers would be great too. My Strano springs and Koni 4/4s haven't gone on yet because I'm awaiting other parts, but if I never thought to preassemble them.

They are pretty pricey, but they are the best. I made the mistake of purchasing aftermarket mounts. The upper mounts consist of the mounts themselves as well as the upper isolators.

These are the parts you need in order to complete the upper assembly.

rockauto.com has many brands (including AC Delco) of the mounts, isolators, and part numbers

well whats pricey, what are we looking at? where else can we get them that would be cheaper?

JamRWS6

So do the upper isolators also come with this?
