Actually preload limits your droop. So if you adjust the base correctly the droop should always be fine for the customer in general rider height positions but that's not true for other coilovers where the manufacturer doesn't pre adjust the base. Also if you have a 25kg spring on a 400kg per corner car and you use more than 16mm of preload, not only will you not have any droop but any compression you are expecting from your springs will be raising the car over bumps rather than compressing.
Further to this, as your springs are absorbing bumps, if you have 50% of your cars corner weight in preload (400kg), that means any bump that gives you more than 200kg of force against your wheel/spring will raise your car during the bump instead of absorbing it. So minimal preload is recommended if you have high spring rates IMO.
Wow great informational build love it. One of the best builds on RUclips
Thanks for the schooling on suspension
Are the helper springs a custom addition? Wondering why that is not standard on MCA's lineup?
Nice video, thanks!

I swear the main reason I watch this channel is for the cars but it is actually the description Mark. hahahaha
Aha bloody @domesticmango always trolling my edits 😂

No surprise you lost traction on cold semi's punting it on the street lol
Jordan brand new ones too haha
He needs something like the R888 that will warm up after the first 2 corners
