That's the rubber top mount right? That looks ok actually, the plastic coating on the springs makes them a tight fit, though it's hard to tell without having a proper look....

I had my kit fitted for me, but it had no problems whatsoever - I think you've got the wrong springs dude.

the cup is just rubber, if you put it back onto the shocker, it will make itself fit as the rubber aint no match for the force of the spring.
