If you can't correctly set up the compression travel, the amount of preload you'll need to get the desired static ride height will cause
a) Harsh ride because your suspension reaches full droop too easily
b) On severe bumps, the bump stop will not work as early as it should, and the top of the tire will reach areas of the car that it's not supposed to reach. This can be VERY dangerous.

They told me upfront it was not an ideal solution but they didn't really have any other options

I would no longer trust a shop that
a) charged you money to install something they shouldn't even have attempted to install
b) agreed to do something that's outright stupid (as your can feel the ride is horrible) and borderline dangerous (hopefully you won't get a chance to test that)

Remove the Wisefab kit, or call CSG in case they have some other options that we haven't considered. For example, they could sell a longer/custom damper sleeve.
