Default 2005 sc430 lowering springs won't fit strut!!!!

i recently purchased a set of TANABE 'normal feeling springs, and the springs appear as if they either were coiled to tightly or are only made for earlier models! the spring was absolutely too small to fit on the strut!

before i buy a different brand of springs, i need to confirm from someone on here whether or not 2005's and up use the same springs, or if the springs were made poorly. i have heard before that there are 'replica' tanabe springs on the market.....

thanks everyone
