As far as I understand (its a complicated subject so I am willing to be corrected!), the preload is the force exerted on the spring by compressing it in the strut between the spring perch and the strut top. When the spring is just loose there is zero preload, when you wind it up a bit there is preload.

Right.
But you are forgetting that as you wind up the lower spring perch, the car will raise along with it by the same amount.
Hence the distance between the lower spring perch and the top perch stays the same which means preload satys the same (so preload will = the corner weight of the car).
