Eibach Spring Question

I just got my Eibach springs in the mail and they came with what look like clear color spring isolators. These are not, however, placed at the bottom of the springs. they are about one coil up from the bottom and are difficult to move down to the bottom. I want to install them, but i dont know if i should put the stock spring isolators at the bottom and leave the clear ones where they are or if i should move the clear ones down and leave the stock ones on the stock springs. Anyone have any insight? Also, should i glue the isolators in place on the spring and how much should i leave hanging off the end of the spring so it doesnt rub on the perch?
Thanks

the clear ones are there so that when the spring compresses, the coils do not rub each other directly and rub off the powdercoating. re-use your stock isolators at the very bottom.

Leave about 1/2" hanging off the end.
