Ok depending on valving I should be able to say whether you'll be bottomed out in the corners or not but right now it's not looking good with the MX5 bar or the AP1 bar for that matter

Best to wait for the dyno before I really say.

Not looking good meaning an inch of travel won't be sufficient to keep it off the bump stops?

Correct at least so far it's not looking good.

Since there aren't any values it's still a guess
I'm guessing even if you ran full firm on the compression you'd probably still be bottomed out in the corner.

The sure way to know is either mount a camera or you can put an o'ring on the shaft (make sure the diameter of the o'ring is large enough that it won't get pushed into the wiper seal) drive through a corner and see where the o'ring is at.
