Default Suspension problems...please help

I just got H&R coilovers installed on my 99.5 1.8T FWD

Problem 1: Front tire has blackish greenish greasy stuff all over it...what could it be?

Problem 2: Front springs look to be upside down when I jacked up car. Lettering is upside down and compressed coils are on bottom. What can this cause?

Problem 3: No bumpstops. Is this a bad idea not to put them on?

Please help....TIA
