This is a long-ish thread so bare with me, I'm a girl its not my fault :lol:
On the pic below is my coilovers. I've done suspension before but never coilovers so if I have the time I'll be doing it with a little help, if not it might have to go into the garage...
But to save hassle is there anything that looks to be missing from the below setup..
I have what is listed on the coilover parts list (all in French so I had to translate :lol: ) but is there anything else I might need before I start the job... Basically i'm asking, apart from whats in the pic and listed can I just use the nuts/bolts etc that the other suspension is fitted with or can you see anything I might need to get hold of?
This is the list-Translated so forgive me :lol:
For each side...
1 x Safety Nut (Already screwed onto struts)
1 x Bearing Disk(although as far as I can make out I have 2 with different thicknesses as below?)

1 x Higher Cup
1 x Lower Cup (Orange Pieces!)
1 x Spring
1 x Rubber (Already fitted to shock)
1 x sleeve thread (on the diagram this points to the threads on the strut, so not sure why it needs to tell me this?!)
1 x Adjusting Key (got!)

Anything else that looks missing? Also the nut is smaller than the centre hole of the bearing disk and the higher cup meaning they just sit on top of the strut- will the other top suspension rubber I already have on my car hold these in place? Argh so many questions and so girly as well.
Just want to do a proper job so any help is much appreicated
Thanks
