Hey guys..brand new to this mini community..why does no one specify offset on their wheel setup as well? Seems hard to find info on what offsets you all are running..and yes ive searched.

There's a good bit of offset info in the wheel thread here: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...me+your+wheels

I'm sure we can answer any questions you have

Welcome btw

The current version with shock body on both front and rear spun down for the official ride height adjustment but then i cheated by removing the 2 lock nuts and spun the lower perch all the way down.

NO they are the exact same shock bodies and springs nothing is shorter. You have to cheat by taking the two locking nuts out spinning the shock body all the way down and then spinning the lower perch all the way down and that is how you get my ride height.
