I just bought 350Z dspec struts to use in my 04 coupe. I know I do not need to, but I was going to try and source an extra set of strut mounts and such so i can pre-assemble the new struts and not have to take the OEM ones apart to ease in the future possibility of having to put them back in.

My Tokicos are new, but they did not come with any dust boots or bump stops, so i guess I need to re-use the stock ones?

I figure based on some diagrams and some search info that these are the parts I am going to need:

2- G35 coupe front upper strut mounts
2- G35 coupe rear upper strut mounts
2- 350Z front strut dust boots/bump stops
2- 350Z rear strut dust boots/bump stops

Does this seem about right? if there is anything you think I do or dont need please let me know.

Again I wish to pre-assemble all of this on the Tokicos so I can remove the stock setup with out having to dismantle it which is going to obviously require duplicate parts.

I've done plenty of searching about this and even talked to other members who have run this setup. There doesnt seem to be a lot of coverage on this so i'm trying to collect this info and later on document it for helping future installers.

Thanks!

 

after talking to more members through PM's I've found out that the DSP-9's can be used with OEM G strut components without issue, so now I guess I need to start looking for new or used parts.
