Default Koni install HELP..the rear is in the AIR!!

I am in the process of installing my new SA koni shocks.

All the stock crap is out!
The eibachs are in and when I went to put the koni shock in the rear I noticed that in the bag are 4 bushings and 4 metal caps to hold them.

So my question is do I use 1 bushing or 2 per side? And do I use both metal caps or just one on the top like the stock one? If so can anyone tell me the difference? I would really appreciate it!!!!

Thanks

Jason (Jblazy18) everything looks BADAZZ!!!!

you use two bushings per side... one goes between the top of the shock and the body, the other goes on top of the shock from inside the car, then gets sandwiched down with the steel washer/plate & nut. Be sure and use loctite or a double nut, my Koni's came loose until I did that.
