Do shocks drop with age

[Ryan King]

Dana you do raise a good point, and a concern I always had with John's rear shock setup.

Perhaps the change in height is the collar letting go and sliding downwards (very scary)

You can buy NOS rear Girlings for $75 a set you know? Great deal if you ask me and properly designed for the rear "coilover" setup.

I went BACK to the original Girling shocks for the rear. Other aftermarket shocks aren't designed to handle the weight of our engines. I blew out to sets of shocks in the rear, and too many to count for the front. The fronts were due to lowered suspension. I went back to stock height in the fronts, and opted for a KYB set for the front. No regrets. Car rides great.
