Yes, the preload was measured correctly multiple times and everything checked out.

By the way, I just got some pictures of it yesterday after the new springs, rims, and tires went on. Had to go with the 315's out back. Have to get that exhaust tucked up a little. I bought the car on mid tour leave, had it for 3 days and left so I didn't have much time to do anything with it. Tell me what you all think.
