Hey guys, I recently bought a set of used KYB's and GC springs for my 96 Accord Coupe. I attempted to install them this weekend and realized I was missing the rubber seat that goes on top of the spring for the upper mount. Can these be bought separately? Also my the KYB's don't have dust boots. I also couldn't help but notice the GC springs don't sit well in the OEM upper mount. Did you guys use the OEM upper mounts? I know KYB sells their own upper mounts and dust boots but will they work with GC coilovers . Is anyone using KYB mounts? I'm pumped up and excited about my new suspension setup. I can't wait to get them on but I want to do it right the 1st time. I'd appreciate you guys help and suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Yeah the boots will definately fit.
The upper rubber seat should also fit without problems.
The upper mounts definately should fit... why do they seem off to you???
If you don't get that rubber seat in you'll have some insane squeaking noises going on that will ruin anyones game if you're trying to get a girl.
I recommend getting the KYB mounts because they are probably more stiff than the stockers.
I had AGX's w/Ground control coilovers on my 95 Integra (RIP) a few months ago. I used aluminum upper mounts for the front and stock upper mounts for the rear.
I didn't have that upper seat you are talking about... talk about squeaking!!! Almost gave me nightmares.
The rear fit just fine.
New dust boots look purdy and that's about the extent of their benifits.
