The first time you really use the bumpstops this will fix itself since the stop will pop over that lip and seal against the top mount, but it might make a nasty noise as it does so.
Also, the rear springs are upside down - the words Eibach should be right side up.
There is zero need for a spring compressor to do this job. If you remove the top nuts on the struts while the car is weighted you can remove the strut/spring and leave the topmounts bolted in the car. On the rear it is helpful to disconnect the sway bar endlink bolt so that you get more vertical movement out of the LCA.

I just installed my swift springs (the R version) yesterday ... I didn't find any instructions online. So I followed the OP instructions.
I didn't mess with the bump stop. But I did install the rear as OP did. And I can feel the rear is not normal (bouncing). On the front it was obvious the compressed part of the spring goes to the bottom. I thought that I have to wait till things Settle. Don't know if the rear Eibach springs puts the compressed part of the spring on top, or the swift should be on the bottom?
I'm confused ??!?!
