That sounds like that will work, however, I would suggest making some different size dowels and adjusting the front and rear ride heights seperately. Like Integra, I also use the AE ride height gauge.
I usually set the front height (behind the kick-up) lower than the rear. This should "pitch" the car forward. This allows the weight to transfer to the front under braking and helps the car turn in
Of course if you want the front higher than the rear it would transfer the weight to the back under acceleration and help the car get out of the corners.
Ride height is a very helpful tuning option and it's so easy, just a simple turn of the shock collars, it's definitly something you should experiement with.
