Default Avo springs vs. Kyb gr2 front inserts

Me again
We were doing the front suspensios, and when we assembeled the front shock the spring was much to short:

First we thought maybe that maybe the insert didint go all the way down, that its supposed to, because the cap didint go all the way down, and i did not use the washer suplied (because in that case the cap would even fit at all):

Than we compared the stock spring with the avo one:

Now thats more like 60mm drop to me (rather than the advertised 35mm), oh and its supposed to be the right spring (the part numbers match, i double cheked). I havent measured the rear one yet, but i guess it would be simmilar. Are they always like that.
Now this looks wrong to me somehow, but right now the only solution that i could think of is to shorten the shock, so it works with the ridiculously lowered springs. Any suggestions?
