mine have bin like that for year now and springs have not budged, ull be fine, cant see how they can fall out, to me if they fall out with fk's they would fall out with standard ones on, principal is same but now cars lower and stiffer

even when i jack rear end up springs on there own dont wobble they firmly in place

I never put the platforms in on my FK's, the springs never fell out and it passed the MoT fine.
Leave it as is

you would ony cable tie the sprinf to stop them coming out of the cups when the car is jacked up.

It is an MOT fail if they do come out when they jack it up
