That assessment by Vorshlag makes no sense, unless they didn't see the spring perch thrust bearing that's part of the Moreno design. The axial and radial load specs for the bearing Moreno chose are perfectly acceptable. It sounds like Vorshlag simply didn't look at the whole assembly and jumped to a conclusion.
Reusing the stock spring perch isn't an issue. Placing artificial limits on the design by saying they don't want to modify the ID of the stock spring perch's hole is odd; it's not an unobtainium part. It's #92271186 and they're $24/each.
Furthermore, having the option of stock or 1/2" lower ride height with modular assembly blocks is [IMO] a major selling point. It allows me to place the front ride height at roughly FEA positioning with zero loss in compression travel.
