what have you got the shock stiffness set at?

6 clicks up fron softest on the rear and 3 clicks up from softest on the front. (I think it is 16 clicks from softest to hardest on both ends)

Have you loosened the control arm bolts to relax the bushes at the new ride height? It can help with the pogoness.

No I haven't. I shall do so when it is on the 4 poster next.

Like a tiptronic gearstick where you'd expect that pulling it back (like in a sequential box) would go up a gear but instead it changes down

My Mazda6 had it the other way round, far more logical.  Mitsi forums had a simple trick to fix it - swap around the micro-switches and the +/- labels.

Re: pogo-ness

You might find that adding a number of extra clicks of stiffness will fix the bouncing. If the springs are stiff then the shock will struggle to control the spring at low levels. 

I’d suggest starting at 1/2 way (8 clicks) in the front and rear and see how it feels. I remember Richy’s Torneo was set really firm (also had very stiff springs) and it rode like a dream.

The callipers will expand a bit under heavier braking I'd say, so will have to use spacers I'd imagine?

Happened with my Corolla, sweet as until I braked hard, then calliper hit wheel. I machined a tiny amount off my rims to sort it.

Do the spokes rub on the caliper itself, or the pad carrier part?

Spokes rub on the outside of the mount, not the caliper. Also I've checked the studs, there is at least 10 turns. 1.5mm pitch into 5mm spacers will drop that down to 7ish turns.

Alternatively I could space the caliper inboard about 3mm with a thick washer behind each mount bolt but it's not really the right way to do it. *waits for you to tell me its a legit way to fix it*  :-)
