Unless the dampers are of a ride height adjusting type which have failed, no.

Dampers make no difference to ride height, they just damp out the bounce of the springs - which is why they call them dampers.

The saloon springs are 3mm shorter than tourer ones. They fit perfect. As these are heavy duty the 3mm will not be noticeable
