The upper cover is same as old cover and I never heard that cover is to high.
Did you get the upper cover in place properly?
Tip is to not overtighten screws or maybe not use at all.

No problem, I'm using the stock suspension components. In retrospect it was probably closer to 0.8mm. It was only where the carbon tower protrudes below the alloy. I noticed that the upper bulkhead didn't sit flush, shaved a tiny bit off the top cover and fits perfectly. I did make sure that both upper and lower covers were seated and engaged correctly before I started shaving.
See pic 1, that's after taking some off.
I haven't taken the tower off the bulkhead for ? years?? So it may have sagged on the screws a little. Either way it was no problem - I may even cut a grove aligned with the tower in the cover at some point to provide a little more clearance in the event of a roll-over impact.
I'm delighted with these, don't get me wrong!
Come to think of it, would you consider doing a carbon lipo battery tray that accommodates centre weights for the 511 w/upgrade kit (511.1?)... ? It could actually be one piece of CF. I miss your old LiPo holders, the new stock plastic ones suck.
