I measured from bolt hole center to top of spring perch - about 3-4mm shorter on my FSD's versus the stock (Arc) rear shocks. The sag was fairly minimal and even when I started. Didn't use any spacers. Can't measure settled ride height until this Fri or Sat when my daughter comes back home.
I wonder what the manufacturing tolerances really are? Are these FSD's really for SAAB 9-5's only? I also wonder how much the slightly shorter stroke on the FSD and brand new rubber bushes on top affect all of this. I'm estimating that the upper perch for me is probably close to a 15mm spacer in overall effect. When I measure settled result I'll share (and hope I don't feel like I need to re-compress and change back to lower perch!).
