it will be the same problem whatever the springs are, read the linked thread, as the springs are stiff they are shorter than the extended damper so when the strut is off or fully extended they can move in the seat.

I had a similar problem with my Spoon Progs when they were first fitted..if you are prepared to put up with the clunking for a while it will sort itself out...every time you go over a speed bump or drive on a bumpy road,you`ll find that the springs will slowly move themselves into their proper position on the seat..HTH David

yes, it can be fixed, jack up car and move spring into proper position, top and bottom,

Found the problem there seems to be somtin missin like a washer above the cap that's sits on top of the spring does any one have a diagram of a dc5 shock assembly ?
