Hi Scotty
Yes that is normal. We set the rear perch so we have some clearance from the rear bumper. The car will lower more than the one inch left due to the leverage ratio as the spring is inboard on the lower arm. We try not to lower the rear too much more or the car will sit on the bumper, which gives you kick off through impacts and reduce the squat and traction.
