You can use the originals yes, just make sure they're up to the job before you put it back together. They're not expensive

Whats the best way to swap top mounts to coilovers? As i dont think spring compressors will fit onto the coilover springs??

Why would you need to compress coilovers? You'll need to compress the original springs to get the top mounts off, but you just wind the coilovers all the way down and pop them on.

There is bog all pressure if you wind them right down . Stand the coillie up press the top mount down and get some one to start the nut for you wilst you have the mount pressed down enough to show a little thread ![[Image: DSC_0190-Copy_zpsf093f84d.jpg]](http://s1038.photobucket.com/user/167gti8/media/DSC_0190-Copy_zpsf093f84d.jpg.html) Member of 99% warning or your nothing club!
