As their web site show's. Yes you can setup to oem ride height.
Recommended (they've told me that they corner weigh at the recommended settings) 1"/.8" drop
Min Drop and max spring preload setting
.0"/+.1"
Max Drop and min preload setting
2.4"/1.1"
Reading between the lines, that means you are dailing in a lot of spring preload to get to oem height, in the front that is. Ideal spring preload is the minimum amount required to keep the spring seated when the suspension is unladen.

Harsh over small bumps (but spring never binds itself)
Wheel chatter over small bumps during braking
Not using full travel, feels harsh, poor corning and braking traction (caused because the spring itself runs out of travel or binds, I'd be shocked if that's possible with the basic setup however)
