Shocks 'Settling'
My car has been on the deck for several weeks now. The lghts are about 20mm above the 500mm minimum height. Are the shocks likely to drop further when
driven or are they likely to remain pretty much where they are?

Jump up and down on it a bit, to make sure it's fully down at the ride height. It should be ok after that. I used to take off my nose cone,
stand on the top of the chassis and gently jump up and down.

Shockers do not have any effect on ride height, that is the job of the springs . As long as you nipped up the bolts under weight then you
shouldn't have any suspension creep.
DO NOT PUT ON KNOB OR BOLLOCKS!

Hi some springs have a tendency to settle by 3-5 mm after they have had some use ect. But you will not achive this by bouncing the car you will have
to use it for 30-50 miles use.
For sva just wind up an extra few mm and shouldent be a problem once there.

My springs settled down about 10mm after a couple of hundred miles - I had to readjust the ride height to stop grounding on one particular speed bump.
Cheers,
