Can someone show me the bits needed for the 'top' of an FK coilover setup?
Spring-FK Spring Mount-OEM Top Mount
Is that correct? pics would be great. Got some FKs yesterday in bits and can't remember what OEM bits go on

You have to use the fk spring top then put the OE corsa top mount on that and tighten up.
Be sure to put some grease on the top of the fk mount where it touches the rubber part of the oe mount.
