on the front shocks, make sure to get the little notch lined up correctly with the fork.

can someone please give me a list of all the factory parts that are re-used. and please also provide the part numbers?

i plan on putting the shock/spring together before i take apart my car so that when i install it it'll be a simple swap in/out procedure

i know i should get it from the manual but im still waiting for the dealership to get it!!

much appreciated if someone could help me out with this request.
