you will not be able to use the stock bearing, because the diameter of the zx2 strut (not sure what that part is called) is bigger, the stock bearing will not fit over it. You will have to grind our about 2mm from the upper spring seat (make it round), and you gotta get zx2 bearings.
Check out my ride and leave some feedback please!

...to clarify, you only need two (2) ZX2 thrust bearings for the front only.
