Default Do Bilstein's include a new spring perch?

Simple question...Do Bilstein f-body front shocks come with new lower perches? If not, how do I get my old perches off the decarbons? I have them sliding free on the shock body, however there is a metal ring at the top of the shock body that makes it impossible to remove them. I didn't want to start pounding at that ring because i don't know how it's affixed.

Pound away! It's just barly pressed in the shock body. I thought , Dam if I bang on that the shock will blow up in my face. It comes out easy though with no fireworks.
