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
Are you bottoming out or engaging the HBS?

It's fundamentally impossible to bottom out the CSG FLA under high speed compression due to the HBS; the force would have to be extended over a period of time.

Adding preload doesn't increase the total stroke amount under large compressive forces. What kind of tires are you running? Bottomming out at T6 at Laguna is unusual; bottoming out at 8A is normal.
