Default Installed 04 ZO6 Shocks....help!

I had some 04 ZO6 shocks installed on my 02 ZO6. Now the car looks like it's been raised in suspension height. The car rides and handles better, but should I lower the car to compensate?

The suspension needs to settle, only time and some driving will make this occur. So get the keys, get on the road and shop for your next MOD while you work this one in.

I had the same problem after installing the '04 shocks. I had lowered my car before installing the shocks and it looked good. After installing the '04 shocks it is definately higher and the car hardly ever scrapes. I didn't measure the before and after but, due to the less frequent scrapes and the visual height, I know it is higher now after installing the new shocks. I've had mine for over 6 months so I know its not settling issue.
