Hi NJGT3,

I have the same setup and used brand new front top mounts which included the bearings i I think. The reason i went for new ones was because the old ones gave in a week or so after installing kw's. I was lucky that the shock didnt tear through while driving. Give it some thought after careful inspection of your current mounts.

Cheers.

jdmfairlady21 is infamous around these parts
yes you will need OEM top mounts. either reuse or get new ones... I suggest new ones while you are at it.
