New Shocks and Springs

I recently purchased a brand new set of:

-KYB GR2 shocks
-Tein H-Tech springs

I used all my old parts from my stock shocks(strut tower, dust shield, ect.) as the new shocks didn't come with these parts. Is it ok to use these older parts? or should I order newer parts to put the strut together?

I have currently installed the front struts and now have an annoying squeaking sound that seems to be coming from the springs and the ride is a bit bouncy. Keeping in mind the back set have yet to be installed pending any feedback on how I installed the front struts.

Any advice would be appreciated.

TIA

How many miles does the car have? I would go ahead and buy them new, that way you won't have to worry about them for a long time.

Thanks guys... I went with new bushings and all is fine... no squeak or bounce. I'm loving the drop. The level is even front and back. I'll put some pics up after installing my oem lip kit.
