Question about installing ground control adjustable springs?

[Brezzi]

Yo guys so I have these springs and shocks:

and thats all I have. When I went to install my suspension at the shop I work at today I realized that I need some kind of different shock mount plate. Do you guys know exactly what else I need to install these parts? I got the whole stupid front out before I realized I didn't have everything I needed:


Also if anyone has anything I need for sale I'm willing to buy.

Thanks,

All you need to do for the front is cut the stock spring perch off. Then slide the adjuster sleeve over the strut tube and let it rest on the stock weld that the spring perch was originally using. Then install the strut inserts and the retaining nut.

That's it.

I don't need something for where the top of the spring rests? the stock one is meant for a coil and the tops of the ground control springs are flat like they need to rest on another flat surface or something like that?

[Brezzi]

K so I think I've figured it out but if anyone can confirm that'd be great. I don't have the metal pieces that are sitting on top of the front springs in this picture:

I'm guessing they are necessary for the spring to sit right in the whole strut assembly. Will I need anything other than this in order to install?

yea there is top alloy plates that go ontop of the springs to retain them. also there is plates that ussually weld on where the original spring perch was. thats how mine came and how i installed them. i got mine from GC though. not second hand.

Those 'D' shaped things in the picture are what are welded one once the original spring perch is cut off.

Do u need them or can u get away with not welding them in?
