Is there anything I don't need? Anything else I need? Are the rear strut mounts available OEM from anywhere? I can't seem to find them. Same with the front bearings.
Thanks!

Los Gatos is a pretty mild climate for cars. I think I'd carefully inspect and evaluate. Don't replace stuff that's not worn out or broken. IMHO
On other cars I've had, the strut bearings can be repacked with grease. Probably the rear strut mounts don't have much wear, even in hi-mileage cars The bellows don't necessarily degrade. Neither do the coil spring pads.
In other words, just do the struts. Autozone will loan you a really nice spring compressor.
Rock auto dot com sells Bilstein struts, about $190 to $210 each. They sell B4's and B6's.
Look up the Rock auto dot com discount code for 5% off, and they do charge for shipping.
Cheers, mate.
