Were did you get these from, does he sell more than one of these on a daily basis. if so then he could of easily of picked the wrong box up or mistaken these for corsa b springs.
Dont be a git with him or else he wont swap them or give a refund, just be nice and it will be sorted out

yeah thats the wrong place for the axle stands as you cant lower the beam to remove the springs, try placing them under the sill piece and use a trolley jack to raise and lower the rear beam, thats how i did mine
p.s link to said auction, may shed some light

If the number on the spring is the part number 100452 its not the same as on the auction 120161 so he should just swap them over.
