is your car on springs, or on the stock suspension?
You should clarify what you want and what you have...

depends on how many miles are on the car.

if the car has more than 70kmiles, you should replace the dust boot + bump stop because the dust boot might rip before your new struts wear out. ripped boots means your strut will wear out prematurely. you might also want to consider replacing the top mount bearing.
