No. Shocks have absolutely nothing to do with ride height.

. They will just stiffen up your dampening.

If you just installed the S-techs, give them a few weeks to settle. Those should be absurdly low springs...

hmmm....

shocks control springs...

springs control ride height

shocks have NOTHING to do with height...however, if you go too low or high, they will limit the springs ability by 'maxing out' the shock. it has internal bumpstops, the reason why on non-coilover spring setups you most always have to either compress the spring to remove shock
