SOMEONE PLEEEEASE shed some light on this

what kind of coilovers, do they have separate spring preload and height adjustments?
to clarify: you removed preload off the front springs (via spring perch), meaning you lowered the car, which caused the springs to be loose on the perch (up/down play). That seems to make perfect sense to me, unless I'm not understanding something right.

If you have a separate height adjustment mechanism, you should set preload so that the spring is not flopping around up/down, nor should it be too compressed or preloaded too much, this should be a good starting point. When you get everything feeling right, take it for an alignment.
