In process of ordering my new suspension

Alright so i have already ordered my struts (tokico illuminas) and my springs (H&R's and they have already arrived). Now i need some various other parts. As far as the dust boots go should i go for oem or kyb's from tirerack. Also for the strut mounts should i go oem or kyb (kyb is also sold at tirerack.com). If i should go oem for these parts where can i get them from? And the final thing i really need is the hose that goes around the spring... where can i get that from and do i just need them in the front or will i need them for the back?

If you need to replace the strut mounts go OEM, KYBs aren't any good. For dust boots however they're fine, you need 2 of part number sb103 and 2 of sb108. You can get the OEM spring isolators through the dealer or you can buy wire wrap from home depot and use that. It needs to go on the front and back.

Just the bottom.

OEM for the strut mounts, KYB for the dustboots (although I managed to rip my rear two already )
