Ford Falcon BA-FG Coilovers

Don't adjust height from the spring base. This will affect spring preload and the car will drive like crap. Height adjustment should be done by adjusting the lower shock mount up or down. There should be no preload on the spring. With the coilover out of the car the spring should rotate by hand. This made a massive difference to the ride and handling of my GT and I only had between 5-10mm of preload. Pm me your number if you want and I can give you a ring and explain it beter.

That's what I thought actually, but wasn't too sure.
But then does that mean you have to take the bottom mount off to adjust the height each time?
What's the point of having the adjustable spring seat then?
