Bye Bye Bilstein Hello Ohlins
Zipties are just too full race for my blood
I have bump limited to protect my fenders when the wheel is turned and they (PSI) have droop limited so the spring isn't completely flopping around when I jack up the car. I did the same thing with my bilsteins.
I have what I would call 3mm of negative preload so to me that's 3mm of droop that's not utilized on the damper because there's nothing that's going to push it beyond full extension of the spring. As far as bump travel in front you can bury the wheel into the fender literally, the front bump and droop can be and is way more than enough.
The rears as far as bump goes I'm not really sure how far into the fender it will actually go but it will tuck the tire into the fender as well. Droop can also be increased and I'm currently at 13.75mm of negative preload.
I'm currently right around 13 1/8" in front and 13" in the rear from center of hub to the bottom lip of the fender.
My useable stroke in front which I've limited with packers is 3 3/4". The rear visually isn't an issue because my tires clear the fenders and I easily have enough bump and droop so I didn't measure it.
Hope this helps.

How much bump travel are you getting? It looks like you have 2-3" of total travel at full droop in that picture (so 1.5"bump travel and 1.5" of droop?).

Thanks for the info.
You're welcome
The adjustment range of these things is incredibly wide, I don't think my car has ever driven as smooth as it is right now. There are certain bumps that are just too big for 800lb springs to soak up but all the little bumps that you feel with stock suspension can be butter smooth with the TTX's once setup for the street. I'm roughly at around 19-20 turns out from full stiff and I have yet to need more damping than 10 out from full stiff. I normally can't get enough compression out of most dampers but not these.

He would rather you call and talk to him, he's not trying to hide anything, he'd just rather not have to explain anything on the boards.
I spoke to Bruce and if you ask him for the dyno he'll send you the file, he'd rather explain the workings of this damper.
