Front Struts - All of it or just struts

[volvostud]

108k and due for new struts and rear shocks (fine on the road, trash on speed bumps and road humps). On my P2 cars I only ever did the strut inserts and struts, never did all the accessory parts like mounts, seats, bumpers, etc. Looks like FCP has a kit for $170, so not all that bad.

Any particular reason to do the full strut accessories? I suppose (it's all just money) I could also throw in new springs, then I don't even need to break down the old struts, just assemble new in the garage and shove them in.
