What do i need to complete my spring/strut install?

So i bought the Tokico HP suspension kit (Shocks/Struts/Springs) and im wondering what else should i buy to complete the installation. Could you tell me the addtional parts and where to buy them? I have 140k on the car so im sure everything is worn out. I dont want to install the suspension then find out a month later i need to dissassemble it to put in a new part.

Thanks In Advance

In the 4th gen FAQ's there is a link that has most of the suspension parts with their part numbers. I would do the boots, mounts, and bearings.

The one thing you need is a spring compressor that will allow you to get power tools on it.

I just changed the struts/bearings/mounts on my 96 (215k miles) and it took twice as long as it should have because I couldn't get my power tools on one of the spring compressors I got from autozone - the upper bracket was in the way of one no matter how I set them.

I'm sure there must be another type that works better - and I need to find it to do my 2k.
