You should have 3 part numbers:

2 x rear
1 x Left Front
1 x Right Front

The reason the fronts are different is because of the bracket to attach the brake line. The fronts are not interchangeable like the rears.

Mine all came in one box so im a bit surprised yours didn't. The adjuster is on the top for all 4 and mine came with helper springs on all corners.

Anyone know if this is a sign of wear or abuse?

If you're concerned, you can have a shock rebuilt by Bilstein for around $125 +shipping. Call 'em and talk about what you're hearing, see what they recommend. I had some phone calls when them when I bought a set for my Porsche (used, with some parts missing) and they were very helpful getting me what I needed.

I've had a set of PSS9s on my s2000 for close to 10 years now, love 'em.

The click is adjusted at the top of the shock. It's the spacing between two of the disks, with a ball in between. If the disks are too far apart it won't click.
