Does lower = stiffer? Or does it just do it's thing and you choose the height?

Still all good with it, its been on since the end of September last year so almost a year. Id say the more you raise the car the stiffer it gets because the springs become preloaded before you drop it on the ground. I greased the threads up to try and stop corrosion which has helped. The only complaint I have is the rubber boots have started to crack ever so slightly but for the money Im not bothered.
Im not exactly chuck norris either, more technique than brute fore when adjusting them.
