All mounting hardware was reused altho I would have liked to use new dust boots ($5 each). I try to do a day or two of HPDE each year at our local track.
For now, I'll hang on to the old struts & shocks as I think there is still some life left in them. Maybe in 10 years or so I'll re-install them, or?
Cool. Keep us updated. I am a bit skeptical on reusing hardware. What does everyone else do/think?

I wouldn't do it. Just got this setup installed today but can't comment on it until after winter and I replace a bent control arm anyway but I feel like they were a great value. I definitely wanted high quality static over lower quality coil overs that I wouldn't adjust anyway.
