For those running H&R sports on stock springs..

When installing the rear springs.. it's so short that you don't need to compress the spring to install it onto the stock shocks? We just put the cap onto the shock and the spring stood loose but we lowered the car after slowly to make sure the shock went into the pillow mount. Is this normal or did I get sent the wrong springs. I made sure to order the 50103 sport springs.

It's fine. The shock absorber will compress and the car will sit on the spring.

Every time you jack up the car to work on it or whatever, make sure that the spring is seated properly when you lower it back down.
