Default Rear springs question

We just finished the ground up restoration of dads original 71 GTO and after a 700 mile "break in" I stopped at a friends shop and put the girl up on a lift just to have a look underneath and I noticed that the rear springs fall out of the top perches and we had to hold them in place while we lowered the car back onto the ground. Is this normal? What would or should stop this from happening?
