top mounts?
when i bought my car, it included a set of Gmax -35mm springs and shocks, which require the top mount and the bits that the bottom of the springs sit on, off the original shocks, will it be safe to use the originals or do i need to buy new ones from citroen?

Perfectly safe to use all the existing bits, worth giving it a bit of a clean up before putting it back together but the standard bits last for ages
If you really want to make sure that its all spot on if you have a high milage car it might be worth changing the top bearings for the sake of £20 per pair.
