The damper comes with an aluminium lower spring support and a new spacer
ring that fit at the base of the rod. When you compress the spring, use
the working coils only, because the upper barrel coils will end up too
close to each other, so your spring compressor would get stuck. All the
other parts of the shock assembly are reused here. Make sure that the upper
coil of the spring matches the recess in the upper spring seat.
