Change the spring/adjust the preload by twisting the nut above the spring

This nut, right?:

Yep

Perfect!.

The bounce (of the Coil) has the same clicks that of the shock that I have mounted?.

Change the spring/adjust the preload by twisting the nut above the spring

if you have to add preload you've got the wrong spring

So, the preload has to be adjusted or not?.

They're both kind of right - but then [url= https://sram-cdn-pull-zone-gsdesign.netdna-ssl.com/cdn/farfuture/rsQ25yFzbasI1zPphs90OHk3lghiEov1hV_6s3l0z90/mtime:1510696886/sites/default/files/techdocs/95.4118.001.000_user_manual_rear_suspension_rev_a.pdf ]you'd think the manufacturer had a manual that explained it all wouldn't you ?[/url]

All adding preload does is adjust ride hight and make small bump worse. The shock will still perform the same after it gets past the preload force. A small amount just to hold the spring in place is what you want. If you are using 1 or more turns of the adjuster then your spring weight is too light.
