If that is a GC setup, it is installed incorrectly.

The Koni spring perches should be removed when using the threaded sleeve from GC. If you look inside the threaded sleeve, you will see that they only fit one way. They are designed to sit on top of the circlip thing:

I knew there was no way this setup was correct. Looks like previous owner didn't know what he was doing when installing. Thanks for the info

Update: picked up some fortune auto 500 coils with swift springs 12k front 10k rear, and some work vsxx's at a ridiculous price.
Also installed a supra tt fuel pump and now my fuel gauge isn't working lol...
And finally I installed some aluminum door handles since the driver side snapped

Will do! I'm gonna drive around on them for a couple of weeks before I give an opinion though.

Also does anyone know how I can restore my tail light housing back to black?

Fuel gauge fixed, contacts were dirty where the fuel level sensor reads resistance, cleaned it up with some deoxit d100 and it works great again

Check engine light, open in the egr. Think I might just get the block off plate kit from banzai... But probably just the egr delete since I'll probably have even more codes if I block off everything
