Also dont spin the coil with the tophat attached to the car. I dont know if it would cause it to "blow" but it cant be good for it.
Yeah you are not supposed to adjust the height with the spring... that changes the preload and throws off the ride... you are supposed to adjust the height by spinning the lower perch (or spinning the entire strut with the perch still bolted in). You have to unbolt those lines in order to spin the assembly... if you are just compressing the spring to lower it, you are doing it wrong.
