It doesn't matter how much pre-load you have on a LINEAR spring, it's still the same spring and behaves just the same. Adjusting the height on a coilover is not going to change how the spring behaves; it will change how the car handles because of camber/toe changes and where the CG of the car sits...

correct me if I'm wrong but the Koni uses perches. You can move the perch around once you've dissasembled everything...
