I got a set of yeah racing standard big bore touring car shocks with the aluminum TT01E race conversion kit and thought they would have been better then the Tamiya cva. Boy was I mistaken as the yeah racing aluminum shocks they put in that kit are the bottom of the barrel units that are very bindy and notchy and very inconsistent. I also bought the QUTUS touring car set for my TT02D 4wd kit that I made into a grip car and I can say first hand the QUTUS are extremely good. Very very smooth and consistent and having the ability to adjust the damper rate on the fly is kinda very cool.
Fun fact stretching springs do not change the spring rate. Adding preload will change the spring rate but if you stretch the springs a bit you will have a bit more adjustment in the suspension.
If you are using soft springs and find it’s still too ferm then I’d go for a lighter shock oil or a piston with more holes in. I run these on my touring car and find there the best of the cheaper options out there and very tuneable from soft to hard including rebound adjustments.
I think your issue is the suspension arms you have , if you had the stock tt02 arms you would have an upper and lower mounting hole . Shorter springs give faster rising rate than long springs , also lighter and cheaper so you get greater choice of spring rate for shorty low-pro batteries and smaller esc etc where a lighter spring is required. Yeah market these for a multitude of cars so some allowance must be there but those arms you have are the reason you need the ride height adjusters wound out. 😘

The tamiya trf shock bladders are the best upgrade you can make to these shocks!!

they make offroad shocks 90mm
I just got this kit super flimsy. not a fan of it at all.
