Default suspension install help on a 90 crx

I just purchased some lowering springs and adjustable shock absorbers. Do i need to scavenge any part from my stock suspension to put onto the new adjustable shock absorbers or do i need to buy new shock mounts and boots?

what other parts are needed as well? thanks a lot for the help guys so i can buy eveyrthing in one shot.

depending on the shocks, you will most likely have to reuse the spring hats on the shocks, and all the hardware.

I always reuse the upper mounts, my new struts have always came with new bushings for the mounts anyways. I dont put the dust boots back on I leave them out

they are 4way adjustable all you do is the tool that comes with the agx is like a little flat head screw driver. you put it in the adjustable slot on top of the struts and shocks and then push down and turn.
