Adjusting rear coilovers for proper travel?

Hey! So I have some Meister zetaCRD's but my question is pertinent to all coilovers. So we set up ride height with the spring collars but how do you adjust for proper strut travel?

Do I hang the rear end to the point just before the springs get loose and have the strut be at full top out extension at that point or is there a better way to do it?

You have the divorced type of coilover with that brand. When I was looking at them I recall that the shock length was three or so inches shorter than the original damper. You will be giving it a healthy amount of squish just to get the lower eye of the shock into the mount on the twist beam. I'm sure that it will be fine. But damn is it going to be low for street use!
