I agree, but that's how 1 way height adjustable coilovers are... If you don't want the spring to move, you must add preload. Pre-load = higher ride height. In order to lower the car, you must lower the collar and potentially release all the pre-load. In some instances, the desired height will leave the spring free to move around.
My ST Coilovers (KW V1's) on my GLI were like that as well as the coilovers I have on my Civic are the same way. That's the problem with 1 way height adjustable coilovers.
This is why I always suggest customers to buy a 2 way adjustable height coilover. The lower bracket is threaded, so you can raise and lower the car without messing with any pre-load.
