Sorry if this is a double post, but I'm confused. First off, I know NOTHING about suspension. I plan on gettting Koni Yellows and Eibach pro-kit springs. What else do I need to buy before i get them installed? Thanks.
Some new strut mounts.

You may not need anything else. It depends on what you find bad when you rip in to it. You'll find that usually when you rip into something, you find stuff that's bad that you didn't know about. Strut mounts commonly go bad on our cars, that why Fire Fighter mentioned them. You're could be good though.
My car only has about 16,000 miles on it, so do you think that they'll need to be replaced? If so, where can i get some. Thanks again.
Well maybe not right away but normally they don't hold up. I would get some 95-99 mounts from any parts store but the dealer.

Why 95-99 mounts? Why not 03+
The 95-99 mounts have less problems, are rebuildable (easily), and generally last longer. They all go, sometimes after just a few thousand miles, sometimes longer.
The 00-05 are not easily rebuildable, need spacers for some struts, and seem to go a bit faster than the others.
Some last a good long time, so don't take this as "yours will go bad", it's just that 2/3 of the people that come here with problems have bad strut mounts.
i just replaced my strut mounts a couple months back..i have a 00 Z24 and have been thinking about either eibach or koni..should i replace them again?

Thanks guys, anywhere you suggest to get these strut mounts?
They all suck, doesn't matter where to get them from. It's more of a design issue than manufacturing quality. Why they changed in 03, although the new design sucks worse.
If you have no noises or other complaints, keep the mounts you have.
If you have clunking or similar noises it's the first thing I would suspect.
Thanks for all the help guys
