Yes and once settled double check by measuring from the centre of the wheel vertically to the underside of the wheel arch.

Heights should be set using cornerweigting. Else just make them the sam L & R.

When getting the car corner weighted, ensure the car is in the condition you most drive it at... ie. half a tank of fuel and an equivalent of your mass on the driver's seat.
