Ok so I have alittle preload on my rear and in the front have a good amount. I went to a shop and was told the front is hitting the bump stop and needs more travel so I should raise the preload even more. The rear was ok. This confused me even more. The front does feel super stiff (when I rock the car in the front it barely moves but in the rear it moves up and down). Damper wise I run the front 4 and rear 7.
Also is it normal to hear the rear "swoosh" when compressing?
P.S. I'm going to put zipties around the shock when I get home to see if I am in fact bottoming out.
Thanks!

if by swooshing sound you mean the shocks mvoing, its ok to hear noises, they are suppose to be some noises when your going over bumps on the road
maybe you just not used to how stiff coil overs are, adding pre-load you should not bottom out your shock
this may help un-confuse yourself:
so if you think your bottoming out, then maybe that shop lowered your car by running no preload, meaning your lowered by dropping the springs instead of the lower brakets
