I'm just in the process of doing this on my 850. I'd say DEFINITELY do the rubber spring seats. On my car the metal cylinder was completely detached from the rubber. The spring mounts are probably also worth replacing. Unless your dust boot is torn and your bump stop is toast, I'd reuse those. The fitting IS a fancy looking nut and the cap goes in-between that and the main strut nut. I've reused mine as well with those parts. The old ones, at 230,000 miles, still look fine.

Hope this helps
