Do the Lemfoerder arms come with new bolts?

The general recommendation on here is to go with Bilstein HD's. But I've wanted to try the Bilstein comforts for a while now..

I found that replacing my front springs on the 300D resulted in nearly 2 inches of increase in front ride height. The springs were "Lesjofors" brand, which I think is the same people that supply Mercedes? I've only ever seen them offered on reputable parts sites. They're usually 40-50% less than ordering from the dealer.
