take them to an auto machine shop and ask them what they recomend and what they can do,, maybe you got the wrong part?

BTW, how much did they cost in USD?

i talked with the mec. he talled that the spring seats radius was too little for the new spring.on the box it says "spring seat: remove lip from OE seat to allow for proper spring fit".what should i do now?just cut the lips and use them or buy new bigger ones?also the bigger ones wont fit to the hole i think... :/

I would not mickey mouse anything , if its's the wrong spring, don't use them... These springs, seats, lock tabs, and tension are precise and if there is anything wrong you will be screwed..
