Sorry and call me thick ( ) but I don't quite understand what you mean by compressing the wishbones. Are you saying your car has excessive ride height ?

If so you could fit an o'ring under the piston inside the shock body to limit it's travel but to be honest it's not something I've ever had a problem with; unless of course you are using Touring Car TRF shocks with are longer than the M-Chassis version?

Still not too much of a issue though; you will just need a few more o'ring's in there to bring the overall length of the shock down to 56mm for the front and somewhere in the region of 56.5 to 57mm for the rear.
