Need help quick..., shock and spring install Options

[h0ckeyplr]

My dad has a 1998 Toyota Celica GT convertible. We got some KYB GR2's part numbers: 365092 AND 334125 AND 334126. We also have H&R sports.

For the front shocks they are just the cartridge (straight tube with nothing on it). There is no perch for the spring to rest on.

What am i supposed to do (about there being no perch)?

I looked at the suspension install DIY article but i need to know specifically about this aspect of the install.

Thanks for your help.

Don't cut, don't do nothing like that with KYB's. Rears should be the whole strut assembly. The front "tubes" as you call them are inserts. When you remove the front strut, you'll see where to unscrew the cap to take the tube out. Careful though, it's an oil shock and will get oil everywhere when you remove it. Be sure to dump the oil in the strut out as well. Slip in the KYB cartridge and use the cap that they provide to screw it back on.
