My motor is nearly pulled and when it is I'm going to tackle the suspension. That being said I have a couple questions on the parts I have and need to order.

Currently I have waiting to be installed:
Tokico HTS struts --- Thanks to rkrenicki! :grin:
H&R springs
Whiteline sway bars (front and rear) --- Thanks to Rick from Underdog Motorsports
Whiteline end link kits (front and rear) --- Thanks to Rick from Underdog Motorsports

Now here's my questions; I've read that it's a smart idea to "upgrade" the sway bar mounts (04-07 Impreza), when I upgrade the mounts I would need to buy different bushings correct? In reference Whiteline P/N W0406-20. I'm just using them as a reference since I like to keep parts within the same manufacture, and I have Whiteline sway bars.

Also with the tophats for the struts, if I have my info correct, I would order Impreza tophats P/N 20323FA000. Yes? That being said I read somewhere, something about spring seats. What I read and where I read it escapes me, do I need to worry about these?

Are there any parts I'm missing or should look in to before I begin the process?
I've read multiple threads, both on here and another site, but I just want to group all this together in one thread so I don't miss anything. If I failed to provided any info my apologies, and if this is an annoying post to some I apologize for that too.

Thanks,
- Brian.

When you say 04-07 sway bar mounts are you referring to these?

if so then no you don't need a special bushing. You can reuse almost all sizes of bushings with these mounts or even the stock wrx/sti mounts.

From what I have gathered yes if you are running the H&R's you will need the impreza top hat allow for tapered springs (but please double check this.. i may have this confused with the sti part numbers)
