Possible to warp springs from blown struts?

Well I installed new Sensen struts/shocks and starting getting a banging noise when hitting any kind of bump. I can even push down on the front of the car and can replicate the noise and feel it too. I had a shop swap the front struts and he did mention that the spring seemed a little short for the strut because we are able to move the springs while it's mounted to the car, not just turn it but kind of move it back and forth. I'm thinking I may have over done it riding on them blown for so long. I've been lowered on Tein S techs for about 4 years now and may have warped the springs. The stock struts that I took out of the car almost don't recover when pushed in. Just in case I have order new Eibach pro kit springs since I have been wanting to switch to springs that aren't as low as the Teins.
 
Well I installed them Eibach springs and the noise is gone. Ride is great but gotta get used to the higher ride height after being dropped on the teins :(
