Default suspension blunder...

Alright i recently dropped my car with some H&R's 1.5 & 1.75. I decided to keep the stock shocks for now. I know i should have done this when i got done with the project but tonight for the first time i looked at the springs on the car in the rear and instead of the coils haveing a little bit of spacing they are all just bunched one on top of the other....kinda like a stack of pancakes...I doubt this is normal...Is it because of my struts...or is there something else...cuz the front ones have space between each coil....any input would be awsome

well, if you read the card included in your H&R spring, it stated that those lower coil of the spring suppose to sit like that.

it's completely normal by the way.
