Default Lower front shock absorber bushings

What’s up Lex people , so I lowered my 05 gs300 back in march of this year 1st lowered car and I recently have been blowing out my bushings. I could understand one set but I’ve honestly went thru changing them out may least 4 times within a month but it was only my passenger side front . Anyone have any clue to why I blowing them out

I even contacted the company I got the coilovers from and they sent me two new front cups with the bushings pressed in already & within a week of having them on the passenger went out 1st the the drivers about two days ago. Someone give me some knowledge or point me in the right direction.

The metal housing of the strut looks too small and the way the bushing fits it turns it into a marshmallow. I don’t think the strut itself is correct for your
