So the top 5 coils are supposed to be touching? I highly doubt it. They aren't touching in the front. What is the point of having those coils on the spring if they aren't going to do anything but rest on each other?

Is this really normal? Are the top 5 coils on the rear springs supposed to touch? Why don't they touch on the front? The front springs are progressive also.
