The amount the spring is compressed at ride height has been determined by your spring rate. If the amount of available shock extension is greater than the spring compression, the spring will be loose at full extension. You can go with a shorter shock and have a greater amount of compression vs extension, or install 0-rate take-up springs. At full extension the shocks will be topped out, in other words, the weight of the suspesion will be hanging by the shocks. Is this C3? I thought E-M only made C4 chassis??
