Is it normal for the g-max 60mm springs can move about when the car is jacked up?

You cant really move them up or down but you can turn them around.

i've got g-max 60mm springs too and when the cars jacked up you can move the fronts up and down about an inch!
it wont be doin it any harm but whenever i drop the car back down i jst check the spring it seated properly at bottom and the rubber bit at the top is on straight too.
i've lowered two of my pals corsa's with spax 50mm springs and they aren't nearly as short as my springs but drop the car more, its a bit strange.

I couldn't move my 60mm springs at all with the Shortened Shocks!

dunno if your talkign about just springs and not shocks liek but if your running standard shocks with 60mm springs expect to be jacking that front quite a bit then

i couldnt even turn mine at all! they wouldn't budge and i've had the front of my car jacked up plenty of times just ask the likes of Icy

I also had my front shockers off a few months ago when i was rebuilding the car and they wouldn't budge

mine is standard shocks and the 60mm springs and when the cars jacked up it moves really easily, its expected it would do that though and i'm not worrying about it.
