Yes I did on my previous cx-50. This is going to be hard to explain. Did you loosen the 19mm bolts in the frame of the car to allow for more room to lower the suspension to get the spring out? Or to get it back in? I'm almost positive you have to. So, with that said, after you get the spring and spacer back on it's perch top and bottom on both sides with everything still loose, you have to get two jacks under each spring perch and raise them up as high as you can without lifting the vehicle off the jack stands, then tighten the crap out of those two 19mm bolts. Does that make sense?
i had a shop do it, but I'm having this issue and not sure how to show it to them or explain what might be the problem. So if they failed to do what you're describing, is it that the 19mm bolts might not be tight enough?
 
I doubt they left anything loose but, it is possible. The bolts I'm talking about are behind the front of the rear tire, behind the fender liner near the bottom of the car. You can show them these bolts and show them this post and they should be able to get it right for you from my description. I have been a technician for over 20 years. I can try and get some pictures of where the bolts are located.

Black Rhino 17s - Falken Wildpeak AT 235/65-17. Motivations were purely based on sidewall security and improved off road and winter traction. Those complaining of a stiff ride - this setup will not solve the issue, it is better, but the vehicle is setup for a blend of on road performance and off road capability.
This is clean. No lift needed?
