Default need a little help with these coilovers

2004 honda civic ex

Okay, so I have the progress compition coilovers and yes, I'm new when it comes to suspension. The front didnt come with top hats so I'm using the stock ones and I have the new plastic bearings I just picked up today. I'm having a little trouble figuring out the proper order of how things go on , like bearing, there's two metal pieces that came with the coilovers that were already installed and then the top hat. Just a little confused with the front, I just need something to look at for a reference and I cant find any pics or which order things go on with the progress coilovers with stock tophats. If anyone could be of some help, id appreiciate , thanks

Ya these are the ones from eBay, just the older version. You do need the plastic bearing but I heard of some people using the stock ball bearing ones. I'm at two finger gaps and I can still go a lot lower, which I'm gona do today. I didn't put the dust cover in, but u can if u want to. They're pretty stiff which I personally like. 350 in the front and 650 in the back.
