Front shocks - ok to mount upside down?

[Gridgway]

I'm doing some setup on my short cockpit car.  The ride height at the front was set as low as it can go with the wishbones consequently at an angle to the horizontal.  As I need new tyres and that'll almost certainly be 185/60s, I'll be losing some ride height, so raising it a tad (about 10mm) will be beneficial for that as well.  I'll also want to do the corner weights at some point.

And to the question... It's pretty much impossible to get a C spanner in to the adjusters.  ISTR that fitting the shocks upside down is a solution to this.  Is that correct?

Then are there some dampers that don't work properly upside down?  I thought I'd heard that as well.

Thanks

Some dampers can’t be mounted upside down - correct

check with the manufacturer
