Need Help Replacing SS FE5 suspension

Long story short..I had coil-overs installed a while back and through my own ignorance did not get my stock SS Fe5 suspension back. I'm looking to take off the coilovers and replace the original suspension. Any suggestions on a parts list for front and back would be helpful. Also, what is the best/cheapest place to order the parts?

Here is the list I've put together so far: (I already have all four springs)

Front: left and right
-FE5 strut
-upper spring isolator
-lower spring isolator
-spring seat
-bumper
-shield
-strut mount
-bearing
-top nut

Rear:
I dont know what i need for the rear

Anyone who has installed pedders coilovers could maybe clue me in on the rear components that I need to replace. Am I missing anything?

Thanks in advance guys

isolator is the same as seat. bearing is same as mount. Should just need shocks in the rear, if you still have the bolts.

If you're up for a drive to MI and interested, I would give you my stock suspension plus cash for the coilovers if you are looking to get rid of them.

Coilovers are usually a lot stiffer than stock, I know a few who changed their minds. Also some part out to sell the car. That's what im waiting for.

I have to drive in downtown Milwaukee everyday for work. I compare the roads to a bombed out war zone Although I love the coilovers i have decided to switch back to stock. When I do replace the coilovers they will be for sale. I have two summers on them...stored in the winiter. Ill put them up for sale here first when the time comes.
