Default Coilover Question

I just purchased a set of LG GT2 Coilovers for my C5 and when installing the front coilovers via a guide (http://mysite.verizon.net/res0aae8/coilover.html) and noticed that the part that actually attaches the top of the coilover (by the dampening adjustment sleeve) to the chassis was not in the box from LG??? Seems to me that the only way to install them is using that, it can be seen in the 2nd picture at the top of the page or the picture regarding step 11 in the front install section. I would think that everything needed for the install would be included in the box?? Any suggestions? Thanks!

I would think LG is the place to inquire about this.

Indeed! I called them, they checked my order ticket and said it will be shipped today! Great customer service just unfortunate that it wasn't included originally as I am antsy to get out and play!

Thanks to everyone for their response!
