    If the springs are swapped and the height changes respectively then that means the spring rates are different. If it stays the same then further inspection of all components needs to be done.

    *sigh* The strut/dampener/shock has NOTHING to do with the ride height. Otherwise it would be humanly impossible to compress them even the slightest millimeter.

    Lol i think you two should fight it out! No seriously....so the shock/strut should not make the car higher or lower if the shock is blown? Well then it could only have been installed wrong. Or is the wrong spring rate.
