Default tein flex coilover

hello guys...i need some help. i've just installed my tein flex coilover. however, the offsets on my aftermarket wheels are too aggressive so i could not really lower my car all that much. i also have to tighten the spring A LOT to not rub. so i'm not rubbing anymore but i'm feeling every little bumps on the road. is it bad to put too much load on the springs. also is it bad to drive around with the suspension tightened to the max (16 dampening way for the tein flex)? thank you for your input.

you genereally don't want too much pre-load on the springs because it will affect damper travel and eventually wear out the strut and blow the shocks.

As far as the hard damper settings and street use, you'll have to ask someone else. You should probably either get wheels with the correct offset or wider fenders and make your life a lot simpler.
