Coilover ride height measurement

[priobe]

Hello All,

Here is the situation.

I have Aldan coilover that are fully compressed to give me a ride height of 27 1/2 inch. I still have a gap between the wheel and the body that I would like to minimize.

I spoke to Aldan and they told me to measure the shock from mounting hole to mounting hole and give them the length, which is 12 1/2 in.

I would like to close the gap in the wheel well from 27 1/2 to maybe 26 in MAX.

Aldan is recommending that I go with an 11 in. shock to put me at my MAX lowering height.

Does this sound correct to you? basically subtract the amount removed in the wheel well and do the same to the shock?

Now, I would like to try it how ever I would like to make sure that if I do not or like the new setup 26 in that I can adjust back to my 27 1/2 ride height as before.

The are asking that I send them my old shocks and they will swop them out for me (Great company). However I dont want to do something then regret it.

Your suggestions please
