It's cut like that to fit the larger diameter springs, mine are the same way except mine are much cleaner looking. The first set they sent me i returned because when they made that cut the bit was dull and it didn't cut cleanly, the new set they sent me is mint. I have to say i was quite impressed with the customer service.

OK...... let's be a little more specific......those missing chunks of metal (like the one with the arrows at the seat of the spring) were not missing when it was installed....

Hmm that's kinda hard to see. I know metal is missing there on mine cause they milled it off to fit the larger springs. You're saying it was there before and broke off during use?
