Ok, so I am looking into putting some VWR springs on in the near future.
I don't think its necessarily..... necessary, to buy ECS's $80 bolt install kit.

From what I can find the most important pieces to replace are the:
Front Pinch / Strut Bolt # N-909-548-02 (x2)
and
Strut Lock Nut # N-101-064-02 (x2)

Also going to pick up the TT pads for the rear.

In addition to what I have listed, is there anything else that SHOULD be swapped out?
Or should I just go ahead and buy that bolt kit?
For what its worth, I will be taking it to a shop to have the work done.
So I wouldn't even know if they actually replace them or not!

Any info would be great as I have searched around a bit but have not really found exactly what I'm looking for.

Thanks!
