gonna freshen up my suspension a bit Im gonna be a doing semi suspension overhaul on my 98 trans am. Im gonna be replacing the the struts with slp bilsteins and I was wondering for the strut mounts is there a total of 4? 2 in front and 2 in the rear? also goes the same for the strut insulators will I need 4 of those also?

I'm going through this now as well.
There are 2 strut mounts in the front and 2 coil spring insulators (Little tab thingees that go on top of the strut mount).
On the rear the shocks and coils are separate.....so just a dual set of rubber bushings that come with the shocks......
Then there is a large upper spring insulator on top of the rear coils......I couldn't find any of these new....so I reused the old ones...they looked OK....some folks remove them and do the heater hose mod....it drops the rear about 1/2 inch or so.
