Sounds like he's probably got something like this ...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Golf-MK2-GTI-1.8i-83-92-Lowering-Coilover-Springs-_W0QQitemZ160423756869QQcmdZViewItem?rvr_id=154910447367&rvr_id=154910447367&cguid=8e1fb8a21280a0e203c02080fecdc4d8

They are designed to fit on OE shocks, as an alternative to standard or lowered springs. Problem is that, unlike conventional coil-overs, they don't have pre-load springs - so when the load is taken off them, they'll be completely loose.
