Bilstein 5100 assembly?

Getting ready to install these this weekend and want to make sure I have all the correct items. 5100's and dobinson springs and I ordered the KYB top hats from amazon that were recommended on here. Are there any additional parts that are needed or parts from the original to put those together?

Not that I can think of. You even went above and beyond most by getting the new top hats.

Which setting are you using for the front? I saw a good tip about marking the positions on bolts so when you reassemble the unit your alignment isn’t crazy off and dangerous to drive.

Speaking of which, get an alignment ASAP.

Yep was planning on marking the adjustment cams and using those as a guideline. I'll be using the zero setting on them.
 
This thread comes at a good time for me, as I'm looking to install the 5100's soon!

I may be mistaken, but was there one bolt that requires Loctite? If not, that would be great, but I thought I read that in one of the installation guides.

I think it was recommended on the two lower 19mm on the control arms?

Did the KYB top hats include the stem cushions and washers needed for assembly? I have the same setup and the ride is amazing.
