Right.   I know of no aftermarket shocks that come with any sort of rubber or 
poly 'isolators' between the springs and the spring perches, if that is what 
you are suggesting.   If the springs are shorter than the fully extended shock 
height, then care must be made when lowering the car back onto its wheels to 
keep the springs centered.   My Carrera shocks came to me with the springs 
zip-tied to the upper spring perch to keep them properly located.
