replacing struts/springs, anything else?
In the very near future I'm going to replace my stock 95 PEP struts and springs with koni (yellow) struts and eibach progressive rate springs. My car is a daily driver (no track use) and from reading around, this seems to be a reasonable set-up (if you disagree please feel free to enlighten me 
).
Looking at pics on the scuderiaciriani website, there are a lot of misc parts that connect the strut/spring to the body (please look here: http://www.scuderiaciriani.com/rx7/suspension.html#DIA , scroll down a little for the diagrams). Are any of these worth replacing or known to wear out (car has 65k on it)? Any rubber gaskets or boots that should be changed with the shocks? Sorry I can't be more clear, I don't know any names for these parts... Thanks.

I strongly suggest replacing the upper spring seats/dust boots while you are at it. They are only about $42 each from www.mazdaformance.com (highly recommend them) or about $38 each from Mazda Motorsports if you're a member.
part numbers:
fronts (x2): FD15-34-110B
rears (x2): FD15-28-110A
Don't forget to get a 4-wheel alignment after the suspension is installed.
