Can always get a longer shock with coil over or even springs. I put longer shocks on my front and think the mono spring hits when at full travel, not sure if a coilover would go much further but it may.
edit: I mean the mono spring seems to be limiting the travel.

Rick, we offer a Single Adjustable shock for the C4's. It is our Smooth Body line, which is a Monotube design. It would allow you to set the shocks for the Strip then change the settings for the drive home. The Monotube is quicker reacting than a Twintube shock due to the fact your are moving the Piston through the oil rather than the oil through the shock. We do a 1,000,001 mile warranty on them, but they are a rebuildable, revalvable shock. Different tracks may take a different setting and that's were the Adjustable shocks come in handy. Do like we do on our cars, keep a small notebook in the car to write down your settings for the track and the street. Whenever you go to the track, get your notebook out and return the car to the settings you had in it last time. You will have the ability to fine tune them to your needs. A click one way or the other can make all the difference when fine tuning the setup for the track or street. I attached a link to them on our site.

shocks worked great....still maybe more tuning...only made 3 passes...car hooked harder with better weight transfer....I did remove the front swaybar also....I'm sure that helped a little...a lot more rise in the front and holds it there longer....

So I have a question regarding shocks, I recently lowered my corvette and was wondering do the ride adjustable shocks with the internal bypass raise and lower the car I want to lift the car ever so slightly and I know shocks will lift it because they are new mine is original with 60k on them but if I set the shock rate higher or lower what does that do to the profile of the shock. would it be worthwhile to put coil overs upfront for added adjustability? If I hit a hard bump my tire contacts the top side of my fender well
thanks for the help

You should have started new thread vs resurrecting the dead. Shock absorbers dampen the action of the spring. Other than coil overs and air bags, shocks are not intended to support vehicle. Adjusting rear spring bolts will raise front slightly as rear end rises.
