I tried to revamp page 1 to better reflect my experience with 4k/12k. The car sat low with around 4.25" of ground clearance up front. Preloading the spring got me to 4.5" I believe. It's an agressive look but I wanted to be closer to bmwp height of 5.25" ground clearance so I went back to 6k.
Damping seems sufficient to me. The car will actually jack down if I run at 7/7. If anything, there is a low speed/high speed tuning that could be done. My car absolutely soaks up big dips in the road. No bounce. It handles them better than a softly sprung Nissan or civic. That bounces over those bumps. However, around town very small impacts like cracks in pavement seems to cause a bit of bounce. To me, that feels more like a result of the very high spring rates (6k/16k) and digressive valving.
I am tempted to move to 7k/20k to gain a but more bump travel in the rear, but I just can't be bothered to work on the suspension again.
