??? sorry you lost me on that one
What would this have to do with the height? You just tighten the nut at the top of the shock all the way til it stops. There's no adjustment. (unless as another said the coils aren't seated properly in the rubber base)
I put my Stranos on yesterday. Uncompressed the Stranos are the height of the compressed stock coils...which meant I didn't even need the compressor tool to put them on...just tightened the nut.
To the OP, my stock height was Front 27" Rear 27 1/2"

I can't remember who.Bought it Months ago and sat on my shelf until I got a wild hair to finally put it on.I think I only paid $80 shipped so I can't complain to much I guess.

Had today off so went ahead,dug into it again and cut 1 spring off.also had to replace a upper ball joint so that was done as well.Set it down and pushed some on the front and get the suspension moving around.Car lowered exactly 1" inch and looks so much better.Well pull out in light tomorrow and take a pic.

Also to let anyone know that plans on cutting there own springs.One little trick I did was take a butch of paper towels soaking wet and wrap em around the spring on the coils your going to keep almost right up to the cut line.Take your time and cut a little at a time also but the wet paper towels make sure to leave the spring cool to the touch while the section getting cut & thrown away gets hot but won't matter anyways.

After pulling her out of the garage and a hose off from all the dust from cutting wood couple days ago I am debating to get in it again and get another 1/2 inch lower........

I have the same issue with my Infiniti G35. Pro-kit, sits higher in the front. I track it alot. I have a drag setup on the T/A right now, but about to go suspension on it and get Strano. If it bothers you, cut half a coil and see how they look. They're a pain to cut though. I got a saw from rental store to do my last pair. Good luck with them.
