Default KW Coilovers Install help

Hey guys I'm looking for some confirmation before installing my KW V3 Coilovers. I'm looking to keep the top hats on my stock suspension and ordering the new ones for the KW. Can anyone confirm all I need to order is #7 for the fronts and #2 for the rears in the diagram?

My Clubsports came with top mounts. If you are going to order new ones why not get them from KW?

Not sure if kw sells it separately for the v3. Heard the oem top mounts have the best ride quality as well

You'll need 6 (2x) 7(top hat), 14, 8, and 9 in the front. For the rear you'll need 1(2x), 8, 4, and 3 in addition to 2.

You can't beat the oem mounts. They're rubber with a metal plate, the ones for the Integra type R are stiffer, if you're interested.

The S2000 and ITR both use metal reinforced tophat bushings. There's no advantages to the ITR version. FWIW, TL-S's also use reinforced tophat bushings. I'm sure NSX's and other hondas do as well.
