Default Bilstein Pss9 install help

I'd like to do the install myself, and without taking apart current suspension. The Bilstein kit reuses the top hats. What specifically would I need to order?

Looks like I want to order number 7 for the front. Or do I need everything above 7?



And for the rear, number 2.

You will need to order everything on the left of both pics unless Bilstein offers any of those parts in their kit.
Front 18 through 8
Rear 19 through 3

I can't see the pictures but from the parts catalog it should be these numbers.

I do have the same suspension in my car. I should also note that you have to drill bigger hole in the top hats in order to fit them in the PSS9.

I just installed them in my 02, for an 04 or 06 YMMV.

I only re-used the bottom bolts and the nuts to secure the top hat to the strut tower.
The top hat and the rubber spring seat.

and that was it with no drilling or tapping.
The only real specialty tool was the spring compressor to take apart the old assembly.
look at S2ka's how-to, it's pretty detailed.
