Top Mounts question
Hello,
Recently i bought 4 brand new OEM suspension units for my S. I bought them from e-bay from someone who replace them before even take the car on the road.The only thing is that the top mounts are missing. Most propably he used them with the aftermarket suspension.My question is:
Shall i keep the old top mounts when i will go to replace my old ones with the new ones or shall i buy new ones from honda? Are the top mounts parts of the suspension that wear during time or not?
Thank you in advance
Chris

My Bilsteins came with new rubber bushes to put in the top mounts. It appears the mount is just a bracket for the bush and the damper sits inside that - nothing particularly clever.
So obviously the rubber will degrade, so maybe you can just buy those?

Please check the site below. Do i have to buy 8 pieces of part with number 6 in the picture? Are these the rubber bushes you are talking about?

From the picture it looks like there is an upper and lower (2 in total) rubber bush for each shock,so 8 in total. Am i right?
I can't remember to be honest, and mine weren't Honda parts so may have been different.
