My stock shocks were blown completely all round. I got new prokit springs and new kyb shocks. After the install the car bounces around like crazy, I can just push down on the rear or the front and the car bounces. After installing the springs on the shocks, the springs move around freely, like its not seated properly, I believe I have everything the way it was just like the stock setup. I didn't need the spring compressor to put on the new shocks. I tried looking up the same problem but everyone is saying that the shocks are blown, but I can see all my shocks are working fine but the springs are sliding all over the place when driving. Scarying the crap out of me. Can someone give some insight for me or direct me to a link that can help? thanks.
 
Well first off i cant think of a site that might help out, except this one. It sounds like either you got the wrong springs, or shocks. You will always have to compress the spring, so when you stated that you didnt to put them on the shock, that should have been an indication. Unless they are adjustable like coilovers, you need to fix this like asap.
