You need thrust washers for the springs. Under compression or decompression they are trying to rotate, and there is a lot of friction with where they are sitting.

Swift makes them, pretty cheap. You'll need to take the fronts off to install them. Not sure if you have OEM or true type rears. True type needs to come off. OEM type just raise the car and slip them in after disconnecting the bucket.

You can also step up to thrust BEARINGS but I don't think that's necessary
