Default GC's and Koni's on DA

I am getting ready to lower my integra and I am looking into Ground Controls and Koni yellows. I was wondering if I need to but upper strut mounts or will the stock ones work. Thanks for any help?

Stock ones are fine unless you are going to really lower it a lot (not advised to go too far as you trade hanfdling and ride for basically looks only) at which point then can be helpful. Not mandatory though.

You will have to re-use your stock bump stops. You usually just cut them in half (depending on how low you go). Never use less than 1 inch of bump stop...

This is kind of a stupid question...but I have never owned a lowered car before. How will the Koni's and the GC's mount in my da? I understand how a complete coilover like Omnis bolt up because they are all complete with top hats that just bolt right up. Correct me if I'm wrong, the Koni will go inside of the coilover, then the coilover will mount to lower control arm.(here where Im confused) know the stock top hat stays in the car and the Koni slides up into it and you put the nut on it and tighten? I would really appreciate any input. Thanks.

They all install the same way.

Just place the coilover on the shock instead of the stock spring and mount.
