Simon, I think DON is right.they look to close on the coils.DO you have them adjusted at all?I could not see in the picture.IF you look in my photo gallery you can see mine have a wide spacing and they are adjusted(RING NUT) for the look I wanted. The adjusting knob should be set for the ride you like. I have mine set at the highest number,which gives me a firm ride. I have 400 # front 200 # rear.
