It appears that the CSG FLAs are not really part of the problem here after all.

Curious what RC kits are recommended by CSG to to achieve better suspension geometry at the same ride heights as one gets by just installing CSG FLAs with recommended settings on stock arms.
The most elegant solution, IMO, is to just use a custom shock sleeve to run the CSG FLA at the normal recommended height, using the sleeve to extend the damper total length to fit the wisefab without extensive preload.

The wisefab drops the rear 45mm at the knuckle, which means via motion ratio, it's about a 32mm drop at the damper. Quite conveniently, the CSG FLA's recommended drop is 1.4" ~~35.56mm, so the Wisefab kit + CSG FLA + extended sleeve = virtually stock geometry instead of the compromised geometry of a 1.4in drop.

Quite literally, it's almost perfect.
