I purchased new mounts for my own kit, and its a good thing that I did, as the mounts on the original suspension of my car were pretty much shot.

I also found out that stock mounts also made alignment very easy, the alignment shop I went to, didn't have to do anything at all to my alignment, everything was within spec, the only thing that needed adjusting for me was the rear toe.
it costs a bit more to buy a new set of stock mounts but they are definitely worth it in the long run. Any coilover kit on the ES with pillow ball mounts will give you a rough ride - I've had Ksports, BC, and JIC and they were all pretty rough with the JIC being the smoothest out of all.
