Suspension Parameter Measurement Machine (SPMM), KandC Full Vehicle Analysis: Suspension Hardpoints

Hello,
 
Looking into the full car kinematic and compliance analysis (SPMM analysis) and had a question.
 
It looks that the testrig for this analysis (__MDI_SPMM_TESTRIG) is meant to work with suspension hardpoints located where Z=0 is ground. Doesn't seem to adjust its pad vertical placement relative to the wheel center height minus the tire radius. Is this true?
 
My suspension hard points are not placed where ground = 0 and so when I build this assembly the testrig pads do not coincide with the bottom of the tires.
 
Do I have to translate my hardpoints vertically to get this to align, or is there a way to get the testrig to account for this?
 
joe.
