Suspension refresh help

So at 80k it looks like my Koni struts have crapped out in the front. I have HVT top hats and RCE springs I will be reusing with a set of new Bilstein B6s.

My questions are:

1. Do I need to service the bearing inside an HVT camber plate? 80k miles on them.

2. I have oem rear top hats, is the rubber on these compromised? Debating ordering metal rear hats to add travel but not sure if I need something like that.

3. The HVT top hats came with sleeves fit for Konis, will this fit Bilstein as well? Looks like they’re out of business or else I’d ask them.

Thanks!
Steve

HVT is now Inertia Laboratory (www.inertialaboratory.com). They will be able to help you with your questions and do have a limited inventory of old HVT parts.
