I believe in some cases...like if the springs are shitty...it will effect ride height. Like stock springs might do it.

Most of the height comes from springs, struts/shocks are their to keep your springs under control. The Koni's can adjust ride height a tiny bit.

well if you have soft springs, and NO no dampening, they what will hold the car up? Nothing, it will sag. Thus, lowering the car. It might not be that evident to cars with stiffer springs...thats what shocks do, stop the car from traveling further and faster....my 2cents.

it will be nothing you will notice.

you will notice your car going bouncy bouncy bouncy down the road though.

shocks are there to simply slow the springs compression/decompression.
