Default Koni question

I'm about to install my koni 4/4 shocks and these directions koni supplies are just awful. My package came with two small bags of hardware that includes some nuts, large washers, and rubber spacers. There's four of each. I wasn't sure if these are needed to do the install or not or should I just install these shocks with the stock hardware. I don't wanna mess anything up.

The rear rubber spacers go on the in/outside of the car. The large washers for the front take the place of the stock dust shield enclosure hat.

If you bought from Strano, call him for additional install tips.

I ordered from bmr and messaged them but they didn't really give me a straight answer. Do I use all four rubber pieces for the rear shocks? And what about the four metal pieces that are also in the bag with the rubber washers and nuts?

for the rears? look at your front swaybar endlinks, the bushings and washer go in the same orientation but instead of it being a long bolt it's the shaft of the shock, and instead of the swaybar it's the body of the car

shock, washer, rubber, body, rubber, washer, nut

for the front you'll find pictures of where the washer goes if you search koni washer install

So I use all four washers and rubber pieces just for the rears, correct? And then the remaining two larger washers are the only extra hardware that is needed for the front? I think I understand the order in which the washers and rubber pieces go now. This is the only washer used for the fronts in the picture in post #2?https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspensio...k-install.html

So post #11 is how the rear should look correct? With one more rubber spacer and one more washer on the other side of the body?
