The spring has a liner rate, so no matter how much pre load you put on the spring, it is still going to compress at the same rate. However, the more pre load you put on the spring, the less suspension travel you will have under compression (bump). Also, you have no idea what those 15 levels of adjustment do. Does it increase bump damping, rebound damping, both at once, at what rate does it do those adjustments and where in the shock dyno curve does it change the rates? It would be ok for some street and fun at the track, but, for me, not knowing what its doing does not make it a good choice.
Thanks for the detailed reply.
