Shock Height with a spring change?

[Henry A Harper III]

I noticed very little change in static ride height when replacing my OEM
w/"HD"s. See http://www.audifans.com/archives/1997/12/msg01429.html

Chewy, if the car's butt is up in the air, take it back and tell them to
install the shocks properly this time. :)

the change to either the HR or the Eibach springs. To further compicate
things, on an Avant? I've seen mention of spring pads? or perches? What are
these exactly rubber pads to go between the springs and???
