Sorry I gotta say it, your bedspread looks like the exterior of a honda. I'm thinking that the second nut should also be threaded up, to lock the other in place.

Hold on. I would think that the coils should be sitting damn nearn on the strut. They should come with O-rings that should fit between the coil and the outside dia of the strut. I don't think they fit low enough. Do they come with set screws?
if this is how they are seated and work that way, may not like the ride qualtiy. They look a little cheap with out progressive spring rates.
I say that they don't fit your struts.

the coil collar should be sitting around the blue section of your struts... I don't think the aluminum collars can handle the wieght of the car and would probably split. There must be lots of play in the collar.

pics may help.. But you should need a spring compressor to install lowering springs. I would like to suggest you just get the eibachs.. I've done the same thing you have, just to see things fail.

they look like they might be drop zones.. they should be fine. Again.. no pregressive spring rates.

You don't need a spring compressor to get the rear springs on the struts, they don't really compress at all. Many people can confirm this.
