Nope. It has a secondary locking collar that tightens up to the bottom -- the same as when you double nut the end of a bolt to keep the first nut from sliding off.

And it has those little thrust bearings between the bottom ring and the spring so my understanding was that it was supposed to move pretty smooth. It don't.

Do you custom cut your springs to fit or anything? I wonder if my springs are just longer and within that coilover 'structure' they stay a little compressed.

Because there's just no other reason that putting the thing up on a floor jack shouldn't have taken the weight off them UNLESS they lower control arm gets to the bottom of its range and the spring is still under load.
