These are just the 16-way adjustable shock, not the coilover setup. They work fine in my C6Z.

Pfadt adj shock problem
Helped my buddy install the Pfadt 16-way adjustable shocks on his 01' Z. Now car sits at least an inch HIGHER than before, even after a few hundred miles of driving. These shocks work fine on my C6Z. Any thoughts about what the problem might be? Thanx.

You're thinking about coilovers...I believe he's speacking about shocks only which still utilize the factory composite leaf.

Is he lowered and sitting on the bumpstops? If so, he may have smashed the bumpstops on the previous shocks? Gas pressure alone shouldn't hold the weight of the car up.

PM Sent. Our inverted sport shocks were designed as an OEM replacement that doesn't change the ride height, it's probably more of an issue with older shocks bleeding pressure over time and making the car appear to have a lower stance than normal. Now that the car is back up to the original ride height it looks a bit taller. Let us know if we can help you out with anything else!
