04+ springs taper on top and the 02-03's don't. Are the springs diameter too small or to big for the top spring perch. Measure the top of both springs and tell me which has a smaller diameter.

The strut shaft is also different and there is a pic of the difference in this thread. https://www.i-club.com/forums/suspension-handling-brakes-195/sti-springs-02-wrx-161994/

I'm guessing the rear has 04+ tops and struts.

 

the front i have all togather.. the front is strait with a taper on the top, the rear it completely straight, but the rear top mount is too small for the top ot the spring

 

They changed the design of the rears on the 04+ and not the front so it sounds like you have 02-03 springs with 04+ tops. If the rear struts are off an 02 you need 02-03 rear tops. If you have 04+ rear struts I'd change the rear springs.
