996TT suspension refresh
Recently grabbed some rear KONI special active rear struts in the Pelican sale. Just bought the hard to find front set from KONI NA direct. Poking around I saw recommendation to replace the upper front strut mounts since those have plastic wear parts in them along with the front strut bearings. I already recently replaced all four bump stops and bellows are in fine shape.
I also bought new rear drop links.
Missing anything I should refresh? 2004 w ~35k miles.

Nice score on the KONIs—those should really tighten things up! With only ~35k miles, you’re probably in great shape overall, but since you’re already diving in this deep, it might be worth checking the front control arm bushings and sway bar end links if they haven’t been done. Also, double-check the top strut mount torque specs when installing—some folks have had noise issues from that. Otherwise, sounds like you’ve got most of the key wear items covered
