nEED help installing Megan coilovers

hey guys
after all the trouble i've been having with T1r...i got a set of megan
but the box came, and does't come with any top hats or bushings which megan said they would have all the bushing and all the top hats ready when i order it.
without my Old set of shocks here to see what i need to put on the megan from the oem shocks as an example
can anyone tell me what i need to take off from the OEM shocks ? and install my megan coilover kit

thanks

the megan came with the top spring holder, correct? you would
place the metal "hat" from the stock strut along with the mounts
on top of that holder.

just make sure you remove the boot holder (just pry it off).

should work as long as the top spring holder was included in your kit
or the top of the spring matches the diameter of the stock hat.

2 not needed for coilvers??

Why would you need item number 2? Doesn't the megan coilover/skunk2 pro c coilover come with their own spring top hat?

that's only the plastic bracket so if the top of the coil diameter and
the cross-section diameter of the coil itself is the same as stock,
they can use it... just like running lowering springs with stock top
hats, i guess.
