Default COILOVERS

Question for those that have coilovers.
Did you put something between the top of the coilover and chassis?
I am waiting for H&Rs and I would like to know before instaling.
I also saw Powerflex top shock absorber mount, so should I use Powerflex or just install the coilovers directly to the chassis?
Same question for rear but there is no Powerflex for it.

You'll need to use the original top mount with the bearing in it. If you fit new ones makes the car feel nicer.
