I have a RX short track. 2.3 straight rate springs, 12 mm swaybar, longer links. I weight 200 lbs.

Were are you guys setting your front shocks at, how much thread showing.

Were are you guys setting your limiter straps at and FRA.

I think with the straight rate springs the suspension setting would be a little different then with stock Variable rate springs

I tried finding this info in previous post but could not.
 

Maxximum performance recommends that you tighten just to the point where there is no slack betweenn the spring and the adjustment ring. All I have is done for the roll is the straight rate and I still think there still is a little too much. Would adding a little pre-load help out or should I consider longer links?
 
I have the 1.9 springs on mine. I weigh 235. I have got mine set at 1 1/8 inch from the 1st line on the threads to the top of the lockdown. It is plush but I am gonna crank it down a little more & see what happens.
