The issues you describe appears to be something other than the "springs" you installed.

For instance, the SCA (soft close actuator) is designed not to open the liftgate while the vehicle is in motion...if that occurred as you say...something in the SCA system or GM is not operating correctly (see SCA FUNCTIONS in inf below).

If nothing else...pull the K112 relay and reinsert it (check for corrosion or other signs of trouble first, though). The k112 relay should be the very last relay in the cargo fuse box (I believe it's purple) closest to the right rear tail light.




In the faceift x5 (2004-2006 model year)...the K112 relay which controls the SCA open functions...is the purple relay on the far right in pic below in the rear cargo area fuse /relay box:
