It's hard to see what is really going on in your pics, but I wouldn't say you need to rush out and replace the springs quite yet.

This clunk could be a couple of things. Clunking can be a symptom of a loose tophat nut, try re-torquing that to ensure it is fully tight.

Spring ends may not be positioned properly and causing a bit of "spring bind". This thread is specific to TRD springs, but the installation requirements would be similar. https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=116218

Did you install yourself or did a shop do it? If a shop did it, I suggest you bring it back to them for an opinion.
The car came with the springs already installed. The funny thing is the clunk wasn't there when i ran winter tyres, it only started making itself noticed after i put on the track tyres, I reckon due to the stiffer sidewall.

I checked the top hat and it seems it's tightened properly.

How do i check if the spring ends have been incorrectly positioned?
