QA1 shock
i was reading several post about how everyone is using the 63-82 year shock instead of the 84-96 
so does it make that much of a difference,its stock ride height right now but will be lowered soon.

It is the same shock except longer internally to give you more room for the insides to travel when you do lower it. ALso the T Bar is not correct for the C4. You need a new T Bar on the lower mount for the shock as it is open and the factory isnt so you will need washers to keep a good bite on the shocks.

I dont know where you bought them, but the T Bar can be installed easily. I havent bought mine yet, but NAAKE said they're easy to do. Summit sells them and NAAKE will give you the part for a little cheaper.
