The springs are stuffed. You have been sold a lemon.
Ask Pat which spring-set fits your revenge brakes. FF has three different sorts, Ody, dia tech and dia compe.

looks like whoever had this brake before u put too much tension on those springs...either that or they had them installed on the wrong sides.
dont quote me on this, but i believe dia-tech springs off of an Hombre or Fiesta will work, or even Odyssey Evolver springs. dont think Fly or Dia-Comp 990 springs will work tho.
so yea, give Pat a buzz to find out.

 And you might still be able to use those springs if they fit over the brake boss etc , just make sure your not putting too much tension into them.

Dont worry, they all look the same. On top of that I have fly/suelo brakes and ody brakes, and the springs are different, and the springs available at FF keep changing as some run out of stock.
