During my recent track day at Laguna Seca I've noticed I'm bottoming out the suspension at the exit curb in T6 when driving with a coach. The coach says it's probably the right rear. It wasn't bottoming out when driving solo later and taking the same line/speed.
I think I also occasionally bottom out the fronts when going over rough seams in pavement on highways.

I presume adding a bit of preload, and then turning the bottom bracket by the same amount should give me the dampers a bit of extra room to with with under compression? Please advise. Note that my setup is a tad higher than the recommended height, so I don't think I'll be bottoming out the body if I do so
