Run the setup and find out why, up to you.

I've said my piece, good luck with whatever direction you go.
At the end of the day these forums are full of incorrect information and if Koni designs their struts to work 100% effectively at a 0-1.5" drop I think it's important to put it on here.

The vast majority of struts are designed to work at their full length, however as Koni states on their website, their shocks are not designed this way. The shock is designed to work with lowering springs in mind therefor compensating for the "lost" travel.

In all honesty, it's a moot point since I'm really not even looking at running that setup.
