For a definitive answer to your question, you would need to indicate which low/mid/high inner pivot supports (low, mid or high) and how you mounted the front (0F/4F or 2F) and rear (0R/4R or 2R) outer blocks for both ends of the car.

Good news is that after you play with the inside shock limiters a few times, it becomes pretty obvious as to what to use for your various setups. FYI...Low roll center setups tend to use about half the inner spacers of a high roll center setup.

You also have about 2+ full turns of the ball cups on the shock shafts to play with for fine tuning. So if you get into the right zone with the spacers, you should be able to adjust the droop from 2-5mm without having to open the shocks change the spacers

If you cut the LOSA5050 shock spacers into a "C" shape (using a Dremel or plastic snippers), it makes the process of inserting and removing them WAAAAAAAAAAAY EASIER.
