Default Anyone with HSD coilovers? help

If anyone here has HSD coilovers installed maybe you can help me.

Before i go ahead with install, i am trying to figure out how the front top part of coilovers are installed/secured...

Found a pic of them installed here but it's not clear...



And this is how they come:

Very simple. They secure exactly the same way you remove them. You even use the same bolt. Once you remove one of the front shocks, it'll be obvious.

Just make sure you adjust the height b4 you install them. I used the mid way point, and it was perfect for me.

Remove your springs, you reuse the bolts and i believe the washers if the oem shock has them.

Since we just got this dumping of snow I'm going to assume you haven't had the chance to drive around much yet. When you do, please update with the ride quality

Thanks!
