yep got the rubber bushes, and got item number 5 from the old shock so ill put that on the new shock as ive left it off atm  :embarassed: item number 5 is giving me some hassle as when i put that on the top f the shock it means not enough thread comes through at the top actaully in the car where the bushes and top mounts are is there a technique or should it just slide in like usual?

Ill attack it again tommorrow and hopefully will have some better luck!

You don't need number 5, the one on the coilover replaces it.
