Default Help! (Dropzone Strut/Shocks + Coilovers

I need help!

I bought myself the set of Dropzone strut/shocks and coilovers, i need to know how to assemble the rear Strut/spring/coilovers, i need to know where the rubber things go :/ the thing is that when i tried to assemble them i did it just like my previous ones looked, (my previous rear shocks were wrecked so i had to replace them) anyway when i put them on the car and took it for a ride there was a weird noise coming from the back, i could hear it louder inside than outside, but it sounded as if something was maybe loose or metal was hitin against metal, im not sure what it could be, i would appreciate if someone tells me step by step on how to assemble them please, would be better if its wit pics... Thanks!

The O-rings go on the strut to hold the threaded sleeve in place, the big round rubber thing (larger diameter than the spring) is your isolator; it gets sandwiched between the top of the spring and the top hat, and it's entire purpose is to eliminate the metal-to-metal contact of the spring on the top hat, which usually makes a creaking or a popping noise, depending on what the suspension's doing at the time.

Of course, I'm going off the top of my head, so I don't know exactly what Dropzone sends with their kits.

And welcome to the forums.
