He raises a good point. Short term memory issues, but i KNOW something must be wrong there lol. I believe you forgot to swap a piece from the old strut assembly to the new one here. Once the crusty old one is on there, you'll know if the top of that spring is correct or not.
I also couldn't find replacements for my spring seats. They don't make noise so add it to the "some day" list

i havent pulled the old ones yet. I was trying to get these assembled so I could do a much easier R&R replacement and not have to dissassemble the old struts

It's not a difficult job, as long as you have a half-way decent spring compressor. Honestly, the crappy clamp style ones are probably enough - the factory springs aren't under very much tension. The trickiest part is removing the trailing arms from the rear struts; just be extremely careful with the forward bolt on the trailing arm. They like to break, and they are in a bear of a spot.
