Default Pfadt shock question???

On the Pfadt website, concerning the Pfadt C6 Z06 Adjustable Inverted Sport Shocks, the following is stated:

Shortened body allows for lowering your car 3/4 of an inch without fear of bottoming out the shock (Please note: lowering the car excessively on factory leaf springs can lead to poor ride quality).

Question is: can one retain the original ride height?

Yes you can absolutely retain stock ride height! installed a set yesterday for a customer, and he took before and after measurements and they were with in 1/8th inch, which is margin of error IMO.

Nice video explaining the shocks and dyno testing them

I have run mine both ways.

At stock ride height, they work great for the street. Then I lowered the car so I could get more camber for autocross. They work great now, too.
