Who has installed Megan Coilovers?

Isn't the OEM spring seat rubber? How would that red aluminum spring seat mate to the underside of the car? On the SK coilovers there was a similar aluminum spring seat but it required the use of the stock upper rubber spring seat.

The OEM unit is metal; the OEM dust boot has a built-in rubber grommit that seats between it and the top of the spring.

The red aluminum ring apparently mounts to the large rubber "sub assembly," which is part of the OEM unit as shown in the OEM diagrams.

There are also some 1.5" metal spacers that came on the shock's pistons (they sit just below the threads on the top end of the shock's pistons), and I'm not sure if I should use them or not. I did not install them on the rears.

I'll tell you this: Megan does NOT include a real set of directions with these, and the folks at Megan Racing weren't able to help much either.
