Thanks to all!
It's good to see so many opinions.
My conclusion is that I need to reuse the stock upper shock mounts because they contain the nuts the new mounts need to bolt to ( I guess you could use washers and nuts but that wouldn't be as strong). In order to do this the stock bushing needs to be removed from the mount. It seems to be either glued in or press fit. The Elephant Racing site has some instructions that show them cutting the middle of the bushing away and the next picture showing the rest removed with only the metal portion of the stock mount remaining. I'm going to remove the stock mount and see if I can press it out before I cut it.
Elombard thanks for the vote of confidence man. I only asked the question to save the bushings. You shouldn't assume that because someone asks a question like this that they aren't capable. I have had my whole car apart. Actualy Porsches are easy to work on because they usually go together only one way correctly and that way is logical and obvious.
kucharskimb thanks for the explanation, very welcome. I'm going to search for your rantings....
