I'm about to do a Hotchkis spring installation and in their instructions they talk about resetting preload for the control arms. I tried searching on the DIY forum and haven't found anyone talk about this adjustment. I'm guessing this is why OP isn't hitting the advertised 1" drop.
Here's Hotchkis' installation PDF and you can find this on page 30.

can anyone elaborate on this? maybe as far as why people are not resetting the preload? also any alternative way to do this outside of how Hotchkis is prescribing? I don't have an alignment rack or 4 floor ramps to drive the car onto evenly.
thanks all!
