To adjust ride height , you use the collars on the shocks. Wind up to lower ride height and down to increase ride height. Normal mini length is between 56 to 58mm total length. Most mini shocks have a spacer or o ring under the piston for shortening the shock which also adjusts the droop. A longer shock will have more droop and a shorter shock less droop. You can check this by lifting the front or rear of the car and seeing how much the chassis raises before the wheels leave the ground.
Another thing is not to have the body mounted high on the chassis, it needs to be slammed. If you are using the swb mini shell, then the tyres will scrub on the body shell. The rides have a 2mm offset rim.
Hope that helps

Thanks heaps.
Ian has had a look and given me a few things to try especially with the springs. The body is the swb mini shell so this could be my problem. I had to lift the shell to use the rides without scrubbing.
Sosidge thanks for the tip, the springs are the ones that came in this kit

They measure 21mm.
I will try adding some more droop by winding back the collars and I'm also going to try usingt he yellow springs on the rear.
