Question About Tokico Shocks

I just bought a used set of Tokico Illuminas which were shipped to me. I have never seen any type of aftermarket shocks before so I wasn't sure whether or not I recieved all the correct pieces or not. As you can see in the picture, the rear shocks seem to have all the necessary pieces, its just the two front shocks which I am not sure about. I got two washers one which is gold and the other black. I am just curious, am I missing a set of washers or does the gold one go on one shock and the black washer on the other? Also, I have the little adjustment ***** for the shocks, so is there anything else that I am missing?

you should have all the hardware for the front shocks... but you'll need a bump stop for the fronts....

for the rears you'll have to reuse that gold washer thing with the taper that fits on the shock rod... but bump stops are provided

welcome to the world of sexy shocks

Yeah actually in the pic there are 3 gold washers, one of the ones laying on the carpet there is a black washer, slightly different in size. Either way I guess I am say if I can reuse the other parts

ya you can reuse it all if you want... i remember mine came with the front gold washers but not the rears... those were fun to remove from the stock shocks
