Default question about tein flex installation

i'm doing my tein flex installation now. i'm a little confused now that i've taken off the stock setup. do i need to reuse anything from the stock one or can i just start putting it on now? do i need the black bushing on the top of the stock one?

no not on installing coilovers. Only time you need a spring compressor is when you installing new springs on oem shocks. Coilovers have everything all put together so all u need to do it pull out old setup and install the new setup. So put em on already!! lol

--take off wheels
--undo top front control arm
--bottom bolt undo
--remove oem
--put tein
--bolt on bottom, brake line, top bolts

--back is 2 bolts on top. 1 on bottom.
