Having minimal preload and setting up the desired ride height by changing the damper length contradicts the settings / dimensions recommended in the manual that comes with CSG FLAs.
And it is a good way to run into HBS all the time when driving on a highway — see the discussion we had earlier on this thread.

Isn't the car going to be way too low (2" + 1.4" lower than stock) and have essentially no compression travel available?

Are these available for purchase anywhere? Curious just in case I decide to get a RC kit myself.
