I'm doing my rear today. Got everything out and now I'm ready to install. First question: do I have the koni's assembled correctly with the hardware on the top in the correct order? Is the body literally sandwiched between the two rubber bushes? Second, are these shocks left and right and/or does it matter which way the bottom sits in the bracket?

Now for the springs (Steeda Sports). It has been recommended here that I use the FRPP short bumpstops. Hypermotive recommended that I just cut the top nub off the bumpstops. The installation instructions on American Muscle specifically state they should be left intact. I don't have the FRPP stops on hand, so cut or leave alone?
