i got told what DEANO is saying by the mechanic at the garage that told me i needed shortened shocks. I still have the adjuster cup in and when the car was up on the ramps the spring still became dislodged (it actually hit the mechanic on the shoulder as he walked under the car) hence the reason why i had to get shorter dampers, i replaced them at the weekend and they actually make the car handle a lot better, seems to be stiffer at the back end.
