I reworked the installation last night, based on the advice from nader I switched to the short bump stops at the back when I fixed the missing rubber upper spring mounts. I didn't need to take the wheels off, just undid the top nut on the shocks and jacked up both sides of the car at the back.
I guessed a new height setting at the rear that worked out, and wound the front up about an inch. After a shakedown drive the heights were 15" in the front and 14" in the rear measured center to the wheel arch. The actual ground clearance is 4.5" all the way from the front to the back, so the car floor is parallel to the road. That might help aerodynamics a bit as well. Boxster is 4.25" on same measure.
At the rear I set both adjusters to the same level before I installed them, with 5 threads showing on the end that goes into the spring.
At the front I set both sides to show 12 threads below the spring and adjuster rings. I'm running 39lbs in the front tires 37lbs rear at the moment to see how that works out.
The ride is now smoother and quieter (vs. the lower front setting and missing rear rubber). Compared to the Boxster I think the Leaf is probably a bit stiffer than the standard setting on the Boxster, but the seats and tire sidewalls are much softer, so subjectively it feels more comfortable.
It's now back to duty as a daily commute car.
Maybe the BayLeaf group should organize an Electric AutoX at the same location? I haven't made it to a BayLeaf meeting yet...
