Suspension - Part Deux

That's a good idea, but here's what I experienced: When I
installed the pillow ball mounts, I undid the top of the rear struts only,
hoping that the suspension would drop enough so that I had room up
there to swap out the stock strut mount. It was too hard to maneuver
all the parts around so I just took out the whole strut/coil over
assembly. I'm not sure that I would've had enough room to finagle
out the top hat and spring, but YMMV. Worth a try if you decide that
you need to adjust the damping.
