I don't understand what's going on in the front of my car, as my perches are set lower than what in this photo, but I'm at 14.5'' whereas you comment how low the car is without preload.
I double checked that the strut is fully seated down in the kingpin. I also disconnected one side swaybar endlink just in case. I have 4 or 5 threads showing above the top nut and torqued to the spec in the manual. The top hats are on the correct side with arrow pointed forward. I don't think anything with the strut bearing or hardware stack would affect ride height, just travel.
