Suspension + OEM Components

Suspension + OEM Components
I recently acquired Toser Coilovers from another member and having no experience with disassembling suspensions on a Maxima, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I've read various suspension threads and no specific data for what I want have been found. So ANY help is appreciated.
Looking at the picture from the FSM, can #1 (Strut Mount Spacer) and #2 (Strut Mount Insulator) be removed without complete disassembly of the strut itself? It seems like I only need to re-use the spacer, but I'm not entirely sure.
Anyone who've ordered coilover units that re-used oem components, are those the only two components re-used?
Another question is ride height, it's a subjective issue, but I'd like to know what is the ideal lowered ride height without compromising handling and longevity of suspension components? I plan to lower it front/rear with a measurement of 26" ground-to-wheel arch measure. For a daily driven car, is this considered a "conservative" lowering?
Thanks.
