When you compress the coil on a coilover shock then the shock extends and vice versa [/quote] When I let my car down on the suspension the coil overs and spring compress, not extend They extend when I jack the car up and let the suspension hang down on of the coil overs, front or rear [/quote]

not what I'm saying. With the car on its weight, the front shock is nearly fully compressed now that I lowered it a little but the spring isnt compressed now because I turned those spring nuts down. get it? [/quote]I do now
