Default So I lowered my car some more today on my own

Everything went beautifully.
Of course the front tires rub on the fender on the stiffest dampener setting, but it comes with the territory.
The problem is the guy who did my lowering not too long ago ( who said he specialized in racing suspension) did it wrong and jacked up the spring preload. How the heck do I fix that? How will this effect my car? I have the Stance GR+. Thanks.

The setting of the damper shouldn't have any effect on whether or not you rub your fender. Since you can raise/lower the car on the Stances with the bottom mount, I would just set preload at "0" (the free length of the spring) and do all your height adjustment with the lower mount.

That is what the preload is at right now. The tire only rubs when going over bumps in the road at slower speeds. Its no biggie.
