The changed spec to a 60mm pin top from the 55mm pin top, I had new hardware old pin top.

Thrust bearings should be fine but I like to replace spring pads *if* the coilovers you get use them.

Replace those, given the expense and effort, i'm trying

Since the struts have to come out to replace those, given the expense and effort, I'm trying to think ahead of which options is best for me.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Were I to update my C2 suspension from almost stock (except for H&R springs) to coilovers such as Bilstein, �lhins, KW, etc, which items/parts in the following front and rear suspension diagrams (from the good folks @ autoatlanta.com) would I still require?
1st from the Frt Susp.: Would I still require items 10, 6 (twice), 3 and 2? Anything else?

Next to the Rear Susp.: Would I still require items 9, 5 (twice), 2, 3, 4 and 10? Anything else?

Much obliged, folks! Thank you!

Depends. If the coilovers you purchase have shock mounts, than you just need longer rear toe arms I believe. You may already have them when you added springs? The factory shock mount is pretty robust. So if it's in good condition I'd leave it (part 2 rear, part 3 front). Only other pieces to consider are the thrust bearings and the rubber isolators (spring pads) that come into direct contact with the spring. That diagram isn't matching my memory of those parts so I can't tell you the part numbers. Thrust bearings should be fine but I like to replace spring pads *if* the coilovers you get use them. But it's all very dependent on what your buying.
Thanks jj1.
I had pretty well taken for granted that strut mounts would be required as my suspension is clunky at times: Either rear or front, hard to tell, assuming they are the origin of the clunks.
Since the struts have to come out to replace those, given the expense and effort, I'm trying to think ahead of which options is best for me.
Hey in my experience with the Ohlins Road and track setup for carrera 2 (part# POS-M100)
I really wanted to have mine ready to just drop into the car but really didn't know what i needed as the ohlins manual was lacking a bit. I had a spare set of front top mounts but not the washers (#6) or the strut bearing and the rear top mounts are fairly expensive and the ones in my car had under 10k miles on them.
Top bolts are specific to the ohlins pieces and mine were 5mm too long on the front but a lathe fixed that up quick. The changed spec to a 60mm pin top from the 55mm pin top, I had new hardware old pin top.
Also there was a spacer missing on the rear sway bar end link mount Ohlins sent me these.
22 od, 10mm ID and 10mm length if any one ever needs to replicate
Besides that I love my setup. Spece'd drop is against a euro car btw. 15mm at recommended install.
