Please help me with my Lowering Coilovers

Like the title says, i need some help.

I bought a set of lowering coilovers off ebay, not sure of brand. I noticed as soon as they got to my door that they are small, like a civic spring. The springs on my stock struts are pretty much twice the size of them. The ad of ebay said Toyota celica 00-04 I just dont know how they are going to go onto my strut, its like they are way too small. Here is a pic of the coilovers.

They will fit. Most coilover 'kit's like this are meant to replace your stock springs. They are smaller and stronger. They fit right in like your old springs.

I have a set of real coilovers on my car, not a spring kit. The springs are the same size as what you have. The difference is that my strut housing is threaded, thus eliminating the spring perch, which is what your springs sit on.

Alright, well my problem actually is the coilover sleeve adjuster...
You can't slide it down far enough. There is a black cap on the strut that is too big (i think the caps for sealing and keeping the oil in the strut) But the surface after the little black cap is the right size for the inside size of the "silver" sleeve adjuster for my coilovers.

(the black cap that im talking about is the "silver" little cap at the top of that black on the strut)
