so would you recommend releasing the preload before you drop the car?

As long as you are not going rallying and not releasing the preload too much it will be fine, Just lower the car slowly and it will sit back in the right spot

yeah ive lowered it while it being kinda loose and i still have to watch out for my boot.....i think ima just have to go to that one website and but some springs for the front....if i have different springs in the front, do i have to have the same set of springs in the back or can i run the stock megans in the back and the new one in the front without any problem?
