Suspension Question

Hi,
I have 2002 Camry XLE with I4 and about 10K miles ago I installed KYB GR2's with Eibach ProKit lowering springs at all 4 corners. I did this because of all the information that I found on this forum. Ever since the install, I have found the ride to be much bouncier than stock, but I find the car does corner better than with stock suspension. When I installed the struts, I did not have to compress the spring since it was smaller than OEM. My question is is this normal? If I have a wheel jacked up, I can turn the spring by hand. Is this normal? I guess that's 2 questions, but I'm thinking of going back to stock springs.
Thanks in advance,
AtoZed

Did you need to compress Eibach springs to get them on?
