Shock absorbers do not affect the height, unless they are too short and pull the springs down. Shorter springs lower the car.
People just won't believe me when I say that the shocks are worn out after 30,000 miles leaking or not. A lot of the "warped rotor" goes away with new shocks.
Monroe used to actually recommend changing shock every 30,000 miles, When they cost less than $15 each.

Don I know the ride height concern drives ya nuts 😎. Never had a vehicle with sport suspension as my 1994 Z28 Camaro didn’t have any option unless you did the SS package like I did but with lowering springs. So what a equal replacement.
To to be honest I have no idea about the 30,000 mile mark. I just looked for bad ride/handling and noise with higher mileage for shocks an struts. Would think this day an age they both would last till 1,000 mile mark like other maintenance.
As always thanks for for your knowledge here.
