    My OEM fluid shocks is already busted and Im ready to replace it. The drop of my car is perfect and I really like how it looks (front & rear has 1 finger gap from fender). So Im wondering since gas shocks is stiffer, it might make my car higher even a little bit(?) and I dont want that to happen even a millimeter. hehe. So is that possible? Im trying to avoid to get the fluid type as much as possible.

    Oh and Im planning to buy the KYB brand.

    Thanks tsikoteers!

    Nah it won't. Its the springs that give you the ride height.

    Shocks just make sure your springs don't go poinging more than they should. That's the reason why they're called "dampers"

    if the shock body itself is no longer or shorter than the stock one dapat di magbago yung height.

Will my car get higher when installed with gas shocks? I have lowering springs
