You'll need the

- bump stops (some new ones would be good, though)
- the brake line brackets (some people manage without these
by zip-tying a zip tie to a zip tie, just done let the brake lines rub on the damper)
- upper strut "hat" assembly with its various bushings and washers

No. You have to reuse your stock bump stop if you're going to reuse your stock upper mounts.

There are two versions of the GC upper mounts - the "race" mounts, and the "extended travel" mounts. If you want to put these on a street car, you'll want the extended travel mounts; they add about 3/4" of shock travel and come with a new bump stop.

Shouldn't be. The upper mount cups, bushings, and bump stops were the only things we needed to salvage from the stock coilover assemblies for my GC coilovers. I've been looking into getting a pair of the GC extended travel upper mounts for the front, since more travel is a good thing.
