At 125K, I have a bad spring seat and original struts, so I'm going to be replacing the spring seats, front struts (bilstein tourings), and will also put new bilstein shocks on the rear along with shock mounts and retaining clips. I already have IPD's endlinks.

Based on everybody's experience, how many have found that the front mounts actually need replacement? At $80 a pop, I am considering omitting these, since the spring seats take most of the wear. Is this penny-wise and pound-foolish?

Thanks for your feedback!
