Default Help , 1 week too ford fair rst front suspension botteming out :-/

Don't know if anyone can help me out got the van on the road for the first time in 7 years and it seems like the bottom of the struts are hitting the cups in the shocks over largeish bumps
I'm running New koni shocks and what I assume are standard rst springs. I've taken the shocks off and made sure there fitted correctly etc but still the same.
Its almost Like the springs are too soft and not allowing any damping. Anyone had similar problems? Any info appreciated.

Here's a few pics......

As you can see it's not particularly low....



Do these look correct?
