Springs and retainers

I've ran into a little problem here. I order some springs and retainers from CMotorsports, the valve locks are flush with the valve stem and the retainers sit higher then the valve stem. So they sent me the wrong retainers???? I try to call them but they are moving the shop and are going to be close untill JAN 30. (The car is apart and I need it back together ASAP) My problem

The way it should be

SO does anyone know where I can get some retainers that will fit CM's springs???? Or if someone knows another way to get ahold of them instead of the shops phone??

Those are the wrong retainers, they are chromoly and a totally different design. Call CMotorsports up, they'll get you the right ones. They're good people over there.
