I had a similar issue with my new b4.1 - as did a couple of my "race pals" who had also just got the b4.1.

We noticed that all 4 shocks had the same shock bottom (ie the thing that retains the spring at the bottom), whereas we expected the fronts to be different from the rears. The shock bottom supplied was, to us at least, a "front" therefore the rear ride height was too much.

2 solutions... 1) take away the threaded shock collars and replace with an old fashioned snap on plastic one (a thin one of course), and 2) get replacement shock bottoms, ones which are intended for the rears.

Problem solved.
