Surely this would depend upon the ability of both the spring and the pressurised shock absorber to compress, wouldn't it?
If I removed my shock absorbers completely, would you say that the car's body height would be identical to that with the spring/shock absorber combination fitted?
I'd be grateful if you could explain where I am going wrong with this.

I would think the answer is obvious but as the clubs technical advisor why don't you make it Simple Simon and remove your shock absorber and try it then you can let us all know
