FYI if they haven't changed the design in recent years, the spring perches may bind against the bottom of the camber plate or the protruding screw shanks near full lock if you're dialed back for additional caster.

Were you using the Raceseng spring perch or the OEM. Also, did yours have the longer bolts like in the thread below? Mine are shorter so I hope I don't run into any issues.

There is roughly 1/8 of an inch of play when the suspension is unloaded; enough that the spring can easily be rotated all the way around leaving it in an incorrect position on the lower spring perch when the car is lowered off the jack. I went over everything again last night to make sure there were no issues with my installation causing this. Everything was correct.
tl;dr Raceseng cascam plates on stock dampers with RCE yellows leaves slop in the spring when the suspension is hanging.

Also saw this post in another thread. Seems like he had issues with spring on staying captive with the same setup as you had.
