Default shock question?
Do the perches on adjustable shocks adjust the ride height or the ride stiffness???

Default Height when you go down, they may add a tiny little bit of stifness if you go up...
from the factory perch setting.

Default when you change the perches you also effect damping...
since bilsteins are gas charged if you lower the perche you increase compression and reduce rebound. and vica/versa.
