I can see that. But it sounds as if this would always be the case with this configuration then. So with a shorter spring, why doesn't the right side rub? Not being combative, just trying to understand.

What happens when you get too much compression travel up front? The tire rubs. Been there, done that.

I can't imagine that bumpstop would be the issue though. I might call him anyhow. He doesn't respond to email from what I hear.

You really think the FCM 46mm bumpstops could be an issue? I'm pretty certain there's no tweakage.

I agree with Keith that if the unibody/subframes are not tweaked it likely is a bump stop or upper perch.
