There's no need to do something silly like lowering a car onto a disassembled strut.
Yup I agree. When he told me he did it that way, I told him to jack his car up and I would re-do it. Guy didn't have much experience on cars but he is learning. Had to show him that the right way was not that hard. Helps if you have the right tools as well...
