Fitting problem with KYBs and eibachs???

I just got a new set of KYB AGX's and a used set of Eibach springs, I put the springs on the shoxs to see how they look and the front fit fine but the rear the springs are smaller in diamiter then the plate they sit on on the shock!!! I wet on KYBs site and the shoxs are right and I called Eibach and they said that the springs I have are for the non-turbo FC, but KYB only gives one part number for turbo and non-turbo, I thought they were the same????

There is about 1/4 inch all the way around the spring and the plate it sits on's wall, maybe its supposed to be that way?????
Thanks

Weird. Turbo and non-turbo springs are the same dimensions. I don't have any experience with those springs or shocks so take my comments with a grain of salt. You bought the Eiback Pro-Kit used, correct? Are you certain that the rears are from the pro-kit and aren't some other type of spring? I belive there are 21/4" springs vs. 21/2" springs, I think the later is what you would want. I don't know that it should make a huge difference either way.
