Was: N15 shocks Now: Springs and perches do, struts andshocks don't.

[Peter Serwe]

Gas pressurized shocks aren't supposed to.  Air shocks and
hydraulic shock setups do, but gas shocks don't typically
have anywhere near enough pressure to add spring rate.

The role of a shock is to dampen the travel, not change
it or require more weight to travel properly.  Air springs
helper kits and hydraulics, both of which I doubt really
apply to our application(s) can, and do, change ride height.

Last I heard, nobody on this list was running around in a
slammed SE-R with hydraulics like a low rider, of course
even if I was, I couldn't possibly bring myself to admit it
in this venue!
