shocks

i put a set of coilovers in my leon, and the front looks great but the back still sits a bit high for me i’ve seen people on facebook say shortened shocks will drop it more but from what i know i thought it’s only springs that determine ride height anyone have any experience with this?

I need to get new front shocks as mine have the classic 'misting of oil' on a recent MOT. I've found some Bilstein B4's that have the outside diameter of 50mm. Is this correct or is it 55mm, or another size? Car: 2008 1p1 Mk2 Seat Leon, 1.6 petrol BSE engine Thanks
