Before installing Kony shocks and Lowering springs

Does anybody know what I need to transfer from the stock suspension to the new Kony shocks and Eibach springs? I heard the top pillow need to be transferred to the new suspension. What else besides that?
Any comments are highly appreciated.

Basically, everything that's not supplied by the shocks and the springs is to be transfered from your OEM shock/spring assemblies.

From what I can remember, you need to reuse these OEM parts: top hats with the rubber spring seats, the 2 small rubber bushings, the shock boots, the black washers that sit over the shock boots, bump stops, the spring isolators that sit between the spring seats and the springs.

Thanks for ur response. The place that I'm going for this installation has a lot of experience, but I just want to be prepared if some questions might come up.

Don't forget to post pics before and after lowering.

Knowing the correct way to install a suspension will help even if the shop has a lot of experience. I've seen a lot of wrong installation by "experienced" shops, that's why I don't really trust shops anymore for things that I can do myself.
