I am about to install some Koni shocks and H&R Super Sport Springs in my base model A3. The current suspension has been in since new (car has 139,000KMS or 86,000 miles). My question is, is there anything else I should replace such as top mounts bearings, dust boots, bump stops, any bolts etc...? Or should I be able to get away with using existing components?

One more think, anyone have a link to a good tutorial/DIY?

Cheers~
 
Might as well change the top mounts and bump stops at that mileage. At least change any nyloc nuts as strictly speaking, they are one time use anyway.

Would have to agree with post above but add i would change the bearings and if dust covers are in a state splits rips change them too
