no i cant see it in that pic. the ring i am talking about is brass colored and seems like it is a cap for where the rod of the shock goes into the body? my shocks did not come with spring perches, i assume i will use the stock ones?

Not trying to be a pain, but you're wrong. The fronts are shocks, the spring on top means nothing. 3rd gen f-cars are struts and the springs is not on the damper.

BTW, the brass cap, goes on the top of the shock body for the bumpstop to use. You install it after you change the perch over to the new shock. Something I generally try and inform my customers of.
