erm...
if just a normal spring/damper setup it should be tight with the wheels jacked up and the suspension not under tension.
Coilovers sometimes have loose springs tho

sounds like the springs are too short for the dampers then, were they bought as a kit or separate?

Its not unusual for springs which lower a car so much to become loose when the shock is at full length
