strut problem Options

[FSX_Celica94GT]

i recently had B+G lowering springs installed and a full realignment. When i got my car back, i noticed that it pulled to the right a little bit still and also that my rear suspension was making a rattling/popping noise. I took it back today and told them the problem, and they said the springs were on as tight as they would go and the noise that i was hearing was my struts because they were supposedly worn. I havent had these struts but a year, year and a half. They said that the struts dropped when they had it on the lift and that they're not suppose to do that and that the springs are the only things holding them up. They showed me that 3 loops on the springs were touching eachother on both rears like this

Are they suppose to do that? do i need new struts to get rid of the freakin noise?

alright..i think i figured out what that popping noise is (or at least on my car)..and it wasnt the struts (although having kyb's feels alot smoother that the ol struts)...
now if any of yall know what this part is, let me know..cause i sure dont know what its called or what it even does..(im not that big on suspensions)

alright, so behind the strut is the bar lookin like thing that runs vertically, and it is bolted to the strut. Well that bar is attached by a bolt and some type of rubber piece to another metal bar that runs to the other side of the car. Well that bar vertically, at the point which it bolts on to the other bar, the rubber piece is wore out, make the bar loose. So the bar now moves from side to side making a loud pop every time it moves. So everytime u take the slightest bump, ur going to hear that pop. I wish i knew what that part is called..n i dont want to sound stupid but i belive that it is connected to the sway bar or somethin like that. If any of yall mechanics on here know what the part is, and can correct anythin i said wrong, please do so.
