I had bilsteins sport shocks installed with Dinan lowered springs, now my ride height is alot higher in the back. Might there be something binding? or what else might be wrong. At the same time a rear camber kit was installed.

Tom where did you set the spring perch? I'm thinking you put it on top setting.

I didn't do the install. The rings on the shock are where the perch should be? There look to be anumber of them which one should it be centered on?

Tom it depends on what height you want it to be really. Your shock should have 3 grooved settings, a c clip fits into those grooves and the perch sits on the c clip.

If they are Bilstein Sports, there are 5 levels. I have Bilstein HD's, so there are only 3.

You are supposed to measure the distance from the spring perch to the bottom shock mounting hole on the original shock and duplicate that on the new shocks. That way any lowering will be due to the lowering springs. Do you still have the old shocks?

Mine sits a little bit higher on the back too. I have not changed anything in regards to my shocks or rear hight.
