Default rattling goldline springs XA

Hi All,
About a year ago I bought some GOLDLINE spring,s. Had them installed by a good shop( I thought). Love the 2 inch drop, handling is nicer, but I'm no drifter or racer, just going for the look. 1 problem, they rattle like HELL!!! Going over train track's, running on a semi rough road, any bump that at speed might get me a little "airbourne" .
Any suggestions or do all lowered springs do this?

ya, there is probably more travel in your shock/struts than in your springs, making the spring loose when there is no load on it
