No, the spring provides the resistance on the way down, where as the strut provides the resistance on the way up. If you were to take the strut back off, and remove the spring, you could easily push down on the strut rod. If you have it at 1/4 you can pull it back up, but not easily. If you put it at 4/4 you can still easily push it down, but pulling it back up will be very slow and difficult.

Glad you like the way the springs turned out. I still enjoy the ride on my car as well. :thumbup:
