Default Bilstein front struts Question

I just bought a pair of of bilstein struts for a f-body on ebay and just got them yesterday so I opened them up and I'm a little confused to what they are suppose to look like I thought they were gonna have the perch for the spring on them or does the original ones already have that ?Any body have some pictures of them before the are installed on the car with the spring already on them

bilsteins don't include the perch, lower isolators, or bump stops. you're supposed to reuse all of it off your stock stuff.

Cool thanks for the info I was thinking of going with some Strano springs they should bolt up with the original hardware right?
