    ride height?

    I have the PRO shocks from my MKIII kit.

    i have the rear where i want it.
    however the front could use a little more lowering.
    trouble is, the coil spring becomes loose if i go any lower then pictured...

    normal?

    I assume you mean loose when the suspension is hanging at full droop, e.g. when the car is jacked up? Yes, normal. That's one of the reasons the instructions say to use a tie wrap around the spring and top hat. To help prevent the hat from coming unseated should the suspension go to full droop. Unlikely in normal driving, but still a possibility. There are helper springs that I've seen some people use. But not something I've found necessary. Randomly found one that gives the idea: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/e...r250/overview/.
