Question on Koni's
picked these up off another memeber a few months back and am getting ready to install them. I noticed that one of the plastic tabs on one of the shocks is missing (see pic). Can anyone tell me if I need it to install?
thanks for the help.

they are dust covers. but since the factory dust boot is there, I'm sure you're fine.
the one thing, I SEE that is missing is bump stops.
you need to add the bump stops.
if you hit a pot hole at a pretty good speed, the shock will compress BUTT will have nothing to stop it.
it could damage the car and the shock.
I would add bump stops, right away.
Also, you will need tophats.

You can definetly re-use your stock top hats .... but you might have to drill out the washers (or Type-S bushings) to fit.
Not sure about the bump stops.

FWIW, when I was running these shocks, I used the stock bump stops without cutting them and they were fine. I agree with Justin...the white dust guard isn't totally necessary. I have OCD though and would have to buy one from Koni so both sides would match.

I had the Koni's (lowest perch) with Neuspeed Sport springs with uncut bump stops and the drop was probably 1.75" or slightly more.
