Are you sure that the smaller diameter of the coil goes to the bottom? It doesn't look like the coil is wanting to set down right over the cup.

Normally there is a formed spot for the end of the coil to set in in the pocket to line the spring up right but I don't know about aftermarket setups.

I think one problem is that you don't have any weight on it to set the springs down on the pockets right. That stock MII front end I have out in the pile has the coils bent in a big curve because it has no weight on it to compress the and straighten them out.
