Mazdaspeed Adj. Struts?

I'm getting ready to install Mazdaspeed adj. struts with H&R springs on my 99 Pro and was wondering if anybody out there as the same struts on their car? If so is there anything I should know or prepare before installing them? In particular did you reuse the top out bushings, dust boots, springs seat bushings, etc. I was thinking of just reusing the spring seat busing and getting a poly top out bushing from some other application and a ploy dust boot. Will the OEM rubber hurt performance? Would not using the OEM rubber at all hurt the struts and/or springs? Is there any modification to the OEM rubber that helps performance? Any suggestions really appreciated.
Thanks

I do have the MazdaSpeeds installed. I used all the stock parts to reassemble the struts. The stock rubber spring seats don't hurt performance. They just keep the springs from moving in the seats. Before you disassemble the stock struts, mark the postion of the upper spring seats in the car, and on the springs. Reassemble in the same position.
