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?

It's not just about getting from point A to point B anymore....
