That’s correct yes. You will need to put the front wheels on full lock to reach them to reach them.
Thinking about it i’d leave the standard arb on for now as there’s nothing wrong with a little bit of understeer if your not totally comfortable with catching slides at high speed.
Also be careful the first time you go out for a drive on a country road. Aftermarket suspension normally has much less travel than the standard stuff and it is entirely possible to end up airborne until you get used to it. You will see this when you jack the car up before and after.
I’ve also noticed that you don’t seem to have any tender springs on yours which were an additional option (�150? dunno but will be on hofmans site) just what looks like a small helper spring to keep the spring in place on full droop. The tender springs are about 300lb springs and help on the road as the car rides on those instead (not really but easiest way to think of it). If you do a lot of road driving you may want to consider fitting some of those. Any garage will be able to do this for you.
Hopefully someone else will chime in here or you’ll have to talk to Randy, as I don’t know how those dampers will behave on the road with those high lb’age springs or if the existing springs on the dampers are short enough to have enough room to fit the helpers on.
Sorry for the rambling, i’m a bit battered.
I am not sure what you mean by tender springs? I know I have helpers on the rear only and just assumed this was down to the increased droop on the Hofmanns dampers?
I thought that the Hofmanns dampers use different valving to allow for the increased spring rates?

P.S. when you say small helpers I think they are the std rear ones they are just compressed due to the ride height being set.

Your probably right and they’ll be fine. I was thinking that the extra springs helped with the ride but they probably just help keep the wheel on the ground under cornering. I was just unsure how they’d ride without the extra springs so suggested asking Randy to save you having to fit them twice.
Yep looking at those my rears are the same but my fronts use longer springs so I could not fit the front helpers without new springs I am pretty sure the helpers just help with droop travel as on my fronts I can feel the collars are easy to move but on the rears they are very tight.
