cant see the pic. but to answer your question, yes you need to install your spring onto the new shock if you want to reuse the springs or buy new springs. they can be installed with a spring compressor you can rent at an auto parts store or can use the in car with a jack method, should be some youtube videos on how to do that.
or the better option is to buy complete coil over shocks that already have the spring & new top hat pre installed. KYB has a very good coil over or some other brands like monroe but they are pretty soft & not as good as the KYB.
