Default Koni Yellow's front spring seat bushing/rubber?

Maybe a stupid question, but I don't still have my stock shock/spring assemblies for the front. I'm doing Koni yellows and strano springs.

So far I've ordered the following:

Moog K6516/K6517 Upper Strut Mounts
Moog K6573 Upper bushing/insulator

The Koni yellow's already have the lower spring perch installed, which leads me to my question, does the spring simply rest on the metal perch, or is there a rubber insulator/bushing that is suppose to sit inside of the perch? I feel like there is but cannot find the part number.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

On mine I have some plastic/rubber inserts in the spring perch. It's been so long since I changed mine but I feel you use the ones off the old shocks.

If I remember correctly I had to buy a moog lower spring seat which is part #K80927. It will come with the perch as well as the spring insulator you need which sits inside the perch. Simply remove the insulator from the moog perch and use it with the one's on the koni shock.
