Spring = ride height AFAIK

Aside from the perch they shouldn't affect ride height. Mine are adjustable as well but the top one is basically stock ride height.

new shocks will actually cause the car to sit higher.

Gotta keep an eye on the OEM bushing configuration as well, you sure you transfered everything to the new shocks in the exact same way?

I just install kyb too and I don't see any difference in height. My coilspring are from neuspeed suposed to lower 1.8" not stock one. I think that whatever the strut I put on, the spring are so tight that the car will always act the same.

lol Finally I'm watching my car outsite and it look lower, but I'm not 100% sure...
