I have a couple questions about changing my MKI to coil over.

First I do not have the brackets shown in the instruction pictures for the bottom of the coil over mount.
here are the pictures of the brackets and how i mounted it:



Mounted:





I bought shorter grade 8 bolts to use so it does not stick out like the picture shows.
The top is mounted as shown in the instructions.

Second question is on the shocks themselves. Is there supposed to be a way to keep the threaded section from turning while i adjust the ring that the spring rest on. It seems that it should be solider but looks like the pictures.
Here it is in the car:



Thanks

Jim
