No additional parts are supposed to come with the springs, its just the box and 4 springs.. NO RUBBER THING

Here, I went outside and took a pic. This is how you should have it, nothing else is required since there is already a rubber bump stop at the top.

Yours has the grey piece at the bottom of the spring....You dont see that? That came off the stock spring, and it has to go on the swift spring.

Just call all the local shops around you and ask them to do it for 150 take it or leave it. its a pretty straight forward install. I paid 150.

I just added the ichiba camber arms since I got lowered on swifts. Made a huge difference! My camber was at -3.5 on the rear after the drop and now it's at -1.2
