Installed eibach pro Coilovers last weekend and went out today to adjust the height, while turning the adjustment collar the spring rotated with it. Is this something I just worry about or just leave it as is ? Pic 1 is how it should be pic 2 is it turned thanks for any advice

You likely twisted the rubber isolator between the coil and top hat. Not sure if yours have it (never installed Eibach), and it may also be urethane, which would be more resistant to twist but could still be tweaked some.



The spring can rotate without harm, but only with the preload taken off. You did the adjustment on the truck, yes? Was the suspension at full droop with the weight off at least?

I personally would reseat the spring with the preload off and make sure things are seated properly before they start clunking/making noise.
