Eric, not an expert on these but, I know you get the discs, the adjusters, the springs, and the wrenches.

Unfortunately, thats it... not much too em. just an overated set of springs if ya ask me.

What's wrong with the car? Why would it run bad? make sure you slightly grease the top of the spring so it will not squeak...

BTW, I'm liking the new sig alot. Sorry I didn't have the time to put one together for you. Take it easy man...

the silver disc sits on top of the spring, make sure the raised lip sits inside the top coil then the adjuster ring should be screwed into the red sleeve thing then you should have some little silver rings that go into the shock, put those in first, then put the sleeve with perch on the shock, and put the spring onto the perch and then the rubber piece goes on top of that, then goes the top metal piece of the shock and tighten the nut. it sounds confussing i know. but if you have any questions jus ask. but remember to put some grease on the top and bottum of the spring because they rub the perch that it sit on and the rubber piece on top. if you were in so cal i'd come and help you out.
