I can only help you with "height" but hopefully Simulation or Candlepark will chime in.

You probably need to play with the dampening settings on the shock if the shock is your concern. What issues are you having? Please post up more specific info on the shock not doing it's job so we can help.

Sounds like u are asking about the length of the shock. You need to adjust the shock length to match the spring. U just loosen the one collar on the shock and turn the body of the shock. I unbolt the bolt at the bottom of the shock to make it easier to rotate.

thank you Snake g. The ride hight (spring) is perfect but i'm not sure about the shock hight for the rear on the coupe. so u saying what ever the hight is for the spring i should measure the spring hight and make that the hight for the shock?

I jack up the spring bucket till the spring doesn't wobble then adjust the shock length so I can bolt it back in. Not 100% sure if this is perfect but it feels good. I had the same problem when I first put them in my shock was way to compressed at normal ride height. Hope this helps. Your rideheight should not change when u Just adjust the shock.
