Question kw coilovers

just wanted to throw this out and see if any one had this same problem or if its just me..while readjusting the rear height of my car, i tightened the set screw and while i was doin so the threads on both side dont' feel like it is threaded and when i think i tightened it up enough i still can move the base. is it safe or not to drive with it like this? will the ride height change while im driving due to bouncing from road conditions or should it be ok?
any help would be greatly appriciated thanks

Any noise while driving? If anything isn't tight you should be hearing some knocking noises. Try some quick, sharp turns (in a parking lot is fine) and listen (and feel) for any sounds or "less-firmness" from either side.
