This should not be a problem, a) you presumably have higher spring rates on the new shocks so there will be less static compression from the weight of the vehicle and b) your old shocks may still have the spacer in them still; (Euro cars did not have spacers) US delivered cars were artificially jacked up to meet the DOT mandated minimum headlight height.

> My new Aldans 655 measure 15" with NO car weight
