86 Buick Regal
Front Springs: BMR 1.5" Lowering Springs
Control Arms: Generic Stock Replacements from Ebay (tom auto parts)

Issue: When I installed the front springs, the bottom spring would not sit "flush". Specifically, the bottom coil would not reach the "notch" or stop. Assuming I installed them wrong, I took them to a shop and they had the same issue.

Is this ever normal?
