Shocks>???

My stockers are on the way out. I know i need to get them before but i figured Id wait alittle. I have comptech springs and want to get some konis or somehing. My only question is... Do the shocks affect the ride height? because Like I said I have the comptech springs and want to make the rear of the car even with the front. I know that the dampening is adjustable but does the ride heigth change. I hope it does. I just want the rear ro be alittle lower and I dont want the car boucing up and down everyime I hit a bump... I also dont want to have as much lean when it accelerates.......

Thanks for everything=

The adjustable shocks don't affect ride height, that's what the springs do. However, how soft you set the shocks will affect how much clearance becomes available as the shocks compress.

If you are looking to really even the corner heights out, while controlling the ride quality at the same time... you'll need some Tein SS or other coilovers which allow adjustments on both height and dampening - koni's alone won't do it.

Not true. With reg Koni's he can raise or lower his car .5 inches. With the Koni SP3's he can go -/+ 1 inch.
