Kris, shock absorbers will never correct the height of a car, that will be a spring problem.

As Malc says. You can remove the shocks & the car's height will stay the same. You can buy spring cups from MB at varying thicknesses to adjust height. These can alter up to a max 25mm, so if the difference is more than this, you need springs. Cups are about £5 each.
