Default HELP please

Hi all
I got my hands on a composite rear spring for a few $ and couldnt resist buying it since my old original is a little tired.
But the guy I bought it of had bought it used to, so the now I wanna have some help how to put it on my car.
I got a new set of bolts and new anchorplate and seems the compositespring is the same thickness as the original.
I seen some pics where there are some kind of plastic (nylon) between the spring and the anchorplate so I wonder is this a thing
come with the composite spring or...........?
Also what kind of torque are I using when put it on the car?
Thanks

first you should identify who is the manufacturer of your spring. then look at their instructions.
