Sleepy you still need the rubber isolators for those mounts. They're OEM replacements, even if they're aftermarket. You need front upper isolator (x2), front lower isolator (x2), and rear lower isolator (x2). The front uppers fit the shape of the mounts and the front and rear lowers sit on the strut and prevent metal to metal contact between the spring and strut. It's only the rear upper that doesn't need one because of the design of the mount.
If you take a look at your picture of the closeup of front mount you see the little square cutout in the mount, that's where a 'nipple' from the front upper rubber isolator fits it. The isolator also has a square block that fits between the end of the spring and the 'stop' on the mount. Take a look at this picture of the isolator:

Hope that helps. I have all the same parts as you for the suspension upgrade sitting in my basement waiting for spring!
