I have a question that has been bugging me. When I re-did my suspension, the springs could be put into the strut without being compressed. Now I know that lowering springs are supposed to be shorter in height, so is it supposed to be like this? It's fine when the cars weight is on the springs, but it just doesn't seem right to me.
It has me stumped.
There was very little tension on my fronts and none on my rears when I did mine, not sure if that is regular, But it was cool by me
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is there a way to fix this? Like put the assembly back in, then lower it, and THEN tighten the three top ones in the engine bay?
Any suggestions? Or is this perfectly normal?
It's normal. The only way around it is to fit shocks with a shorter travel. But, if you're worried, wirelock them in place.

Wire locking, normally used on aircraft, etc, to stop bolts/nuts being able to undo through vibration. It's basically stainless steel wire. You can "tie" the springs top & bottom to the seats to prevent them from moving/unseating when the car is jacked up.
