Default Bilstein Shock Problem???

Today I was installing my Bilstein Shocks in the front, and I noticed that they did not come with the spring cups. The problem is that I do not have stock Shocks in the front they are some other brand where the spring cup dont come off. So I was wondering where can you buy spring cups for the Bilstein Shocks?

Those were intended for QA1 shocks.
