Me again!

Picked up the coilovers tonight and I'm just wondering if there is anything else I should change when I install them? I was thinking new drop links ( do I need shorter ones?) and te bottom bolts that hold the suspension unit to the car. Is there anything else?
Also picked up a pair of not ripped 2nd hand seats, HT leads and a front strut brace.
Left the rear roll bar/style bar and the typhoon as it won't fit the mk1 frown
It had a heated rear screen if anyone is looking for one also?

The top mounts have come with coilovers but according to mx5 parts they are only £15 each so i might just buy some new ones as i don't know teh condition of the current topmounts.

New ARB bushes, they are usually knackered?

Check all the wishbone bushes while things are disassembled.

Well, wifie snapped a front spring this morning so the coilovers will be going on this weekend at this rate. Was going to leave them until next summer but i'll hopefully get them changed this weekend now. Cheers for your help guys.
