yeah its pretty easy. as far as the parts you received, the jam nut goes on first, then goes the spring cup. then the thrust bearings (BUY THE THRUST BEARINGS). then the spring. when you take out the old strut, whatever doesn't come with the qa1's...you reuse, which is basically the upper strut mounts and the lower two bolts like stated above. make sure you use the bolt that comes with your coilover for the top mount...the OEM bolt is a different pitch and WILL strip your strut bolt.
i didn't use the little boot inside the spring, mostly cause it doesn't fit in the new springs.
