bilstein shocks

if it's to be height adjustable (on top of stiffness/dampness adjustable), it's supposed to have grooves, right? is 'groove' same as 'perch' you guys are referring to?

The perch rests on an adaptor ring, which in turn sits on

another metal ring/clip, which fits into the groove. By moving the clip to another groove, you essentially change where the lower spring perch will rest on the shock body.

right.

But Bilsteins are not stiffness/dampness adjustable.
They only can adjust for height, if you have the extra grooves.
