rear springs

[yzfrider2]

so after 3 years of jackstands, my car is now on the ground again. i have all my dse upper and lowers a-arms installed, my kore3 c-5 brakes all the way around,vintage wheel works w/ nitto tires , hotchkis springs front and rear. here is my question.....the rear springs seem very soft, i can compress the rear of the car with minimal effort, making it bounce up and down very easliy. the car is just a shell, no gas tank, no interior, no engine . in comparison the front i cant budge at all, even with 400lbs of people standing on the subframe front. is this normal for the rear,or am i being paranoid? i just thought it would be very stiff in the rear as well.
i havent put shocks on the rear yet, but shocks dont support the car.

fear not yzfrider2..I have exactly same suspension and until i put on the shocks, the rear bounced like crazy! the shocks job is to dampen the bounce..the rear springs have no where near the weight or stress on them as do the front springs..
