Wow I'm Jesus Christ now! Thanks buddy I didn't think you liked me that much. Your an idiot for saying that cause that's not what I've said.

I think any spring no matter what needs preload set on the spring. If I do preload it the rear will be pretty much OEM height back there. I don't want to look like a funny car.
If you adjust ride height to adjust preload your are also moving the center of gravity of your vehicle, which could also give you negative side effects, on the road, and track. I thought I read some place you were having a traction issue, maybe something like this could be the cause.

Preloading springs on a MLS is properly done using coilovers that are not only height adjustable but also allows you to adjust the spring perch independently.
Depending on your setup, and spring rates you may not preload all your suspension when corner balancing, and in some cases you might have to add helper springs for corners that have none at all.

Hopefully this is helpful to you, or anyone else that might be looking at this dribble you continue to spout.

Or if you would rather the words of the internet;
Spring Pre-Load - Compressing a spring in advance of adding a load. For example taking a spring with a 100 pound linear spring rate, preloaded one-quarter inch, would take twenty-five pounds of force before it would further compress. In effect not moving until 26 pounds of force were applied, and only moving one-quarter inch when 50 pounds of force were applied, as opposed to the half inch the spring would have normally moved. The spring rate however has not changed, as it would continue compressing one-quarter inch for every additional 25 pounds of force applied throughout the active length of the spring, until the coils touched each other (bound).

By the way synolimit do you have a youtube channel or video links of your driving on a track, or autocrossing?

MD is a little to far for me, but if you came over here sure, and I'd let any competent person drive it.
My setup, and driving skill isn't perfect. There is always some more to learn, specially if someone is faster in my own car. I really find that exciting cause they can teach me something.
Warning if you break it you buy it.
