Had Bilstein HD's installed on all 4 corners as well as a bump steer kit on my 83 cabriolet this weekend. Work was done by a couple of buddies (one a Pelican). I have been swamped with work and a medical issue with my wife and I really needed to get this work done. Well, all went well, but they reported that I had what seems to be a standard - noticeable ride height increase after install (we replaced the original worn out Boges). I have read about this before and reread some info tonight. It seems that the general experience is to not readjust height until riding on the "new" struts/shocks (I bought a good used set thinking maybe I would not have this somewhat common problem).

Is this right, or should we go ahead and readjust a bit. Is there a best-practice ride height to use for Bilstein HD "break-in". Mine are used, but they have not been on a car for at least a few months.

I will try to post pics when I can. In the hospital with my wife right now. Maybe Scott will see this thread and post some.
