Icon6 KYB GR2 sits lower than Tokico blue

Sorry, I don't have pics. Even if I did, one could not tell.

Anyone who have them in the past with the same set up, have you noticed this?

KYB GR2 seems to sit lower than Tokico blue shocks.

I recall this from my old 97 Civic on H&R Sport springs.

Trying to help someone out now. So maybe the question now should be, all shocks, in theory, should be the same, but they are not when installed on cars. Do all shocks have the same level of right height?

* I know Koni have adjustable perch. So this is for non-koni shocks.

seeing as how the springs decide the ride height more then the shocks that might be it too.
