Parts for new strut/springs

I am (finally) going to open all these boxes in the garage and install the lowering springs and Illuminas. Iwillalso be replacing the LCA'sw/ balljoints and swaybar bushings(poly). Okay...what parts should I get for the spring/struts other than the black rubber/plastic strut bearing piece. I thought a bearing would be some type of housing with bearings in it...? Anyway, I'm also thinking about wrapping the coils. I do have the "infamous" spring windup rattle with "clunking turns" and I don't see how just replacing a black- cupped piece(strut mount "bearing" will cure! Any further sugestions on mount insulators/etc.. Part ##'s greatly appreciated!!! I only intend to do this once in the life I have left... Thanks, guys!!

Look up the dallas/texas maxima enthusiast site - they have a breakdown of all the parts needed for an overhaul.

The bearing will take care of the clunking turns.

At a minimum inspect the strut mounts/isolators, (you have the bearings covered), and use new spring isolators.
