There's not one here on 247.

You'll reuse the OEM strut bearings, upper strut mounts, and rear bump stop assembly. Everything else gets replaced. The rear adjustment assembly sits up-side-down relative to the spring.

do whaaaaat??? oem strut bearings? Upper strut mounts??

 

[manny3]

installed them without instructions, pretty self explanatory if you have any mechanical skills I might add LOL, but theres some cautions to take specially with the tension on the springs

I see you have them on already, but here is Rotus8's writeup for the Mazdaspeed, but they should be similar to the H&R.

If anyone else needs them...

If you looked for them in the How-to section, you probably didn't see them as that section is limited to the most recent 5 posts, plus stickies.

That's pretty close but everything should bolt right up without modification. The only thing you need to do in front is separate the front bump stop from the strut bushing/strut mount (front stop is not reused). Just be careful not to separate the bushing assembly or you'll release the bearings inside. Also, KW/MS supply their own strut bearing/bushing where H&R requires you to reuse the OEM one.
