> So if I want my car lower right now, it will loosen the spring under no load. But if I install a cable it will be ok? What happens if the spring doesn’t seat correctly when the wheel hits pavement again? I’m just curious since my car 3 wheels often.

The shorter the spring the easier it will be to unseat…the 2" diameter 8" free length springs reseat easy because of the narrow diameter of the spring and the fact they are flat at the bottom. If you are using lowering springs or cut stock springs they may not re-seat due to the nature of a stock spring.
