do i need all of those rubber pieces? liike 2,7,9

[Garrett]

bump need to know if i need to order all of those

I would say 2, 7, and 9. I've done springs on two cars now, and on each one the upper and lower (rubber) spring seats looked pretty rough. I've heard on the EP3 the upper bearing (9) is made out of plastic and wears out pretty easily also. Anyone care to throw out a more informed opinion?
