I just did that, too. And ordered too many parts from FCP. I should have reused the large bolts that hold the strut to the steering, the FCP bolts look less robust. I did not use the 3 little "locking" nuts at the top, the original nuts looked better than what they sent.
The boot and holder are probably OK on your car, but new boots work just nicely. Boot holder doesn't get worn out.
My V70 had a rubber/plastic spacer between the boot holder and the rubber bump stop. I had to go to the dealer to get new ones, mine were broken.
The 4 pronged star nut and large nut on top were reused, not new.

If your sway bar endlinks are even a little bit loose, get new ones from IPD.
