Question for people with stock style front struts and coilovers

If you have installed coilovers on a stock style strut I have a few questions. I have the adjuster sleeves and the springs already. What I don't have is the top spring seat parts. What did you use at the top of the spring? I have J7M caster camber plates on the car now but still have a nice pair of stock plates too.

I used the Spohn kit. It has a bearing for the strut. It also uses thrust bearings for the spring so you end up
with thrust bearings on the top and the bottom of the spring.

Spohns kit uses their CC plates and the spring sits inside the CC plate. I don't have Spohn CC plates so that design won't work with what I have.
