Default ride height adjuster remove or disconnect?

I'm in the process of replacing my magnetic shocks on my 2012 G.S. Corvette @34K with Bilstein B8 shocks, I've purchased the Casper Electronic RTD Module inserts but regarding the ride height adjuster would I be better off just removing the device? Also will I have to readjust the height?
thanks for your attention boonie

The ride height adjusters are a simple mechanical screw. You can't eliminate them unless you go to coil over shock springs in which case you completely remove the transverse leaf springs.

I would certainly check ride height, it may need to be adjusted.

FYI, the springs on the magnaride suspensions are usually softer than standard as the system uses the shocks to firm it up when in sportier modes. If you didn't also swap springs, you now have a softly sprung Grand Sport.
