Well what you see now is a bumpstop. The bumpstop prevents the spring to compress a certain height. Unfortunately my shock was soooooooo wornout that the bumpstop couldn't do jack**** except break and wrap around the shock.
Do yourself a favor and change your shocks along with your springs to avoid a hassle. Your shocks WILL prematurely wear out if you put on drop springs.

Holy $hit, I wonder what my stock shocks look like after close to 4 years?!!!
Maybe it's time to get aftermarket shocks.
But my ride quality is still great. Or maybe my a$$ is numb that I can't tell the difference anymore.:p

Basically if you live in NY you can't get away with just springs for $250. It will all add up to $1000+ just for parts. I estimated this from checking the prices on Koni shocks from Comtechusa.com
PS I don't know much about suspension and the cost of things
