Default Need rear of car at least 1/2" higher

As title states need rear of car at least 1/2" higher on my 01 ws6, stock springs made it look like a 4wd truck, eibachs are sitting too low... Is there a happy medium with out doing rear coil overs? Possibly a spacer on the spring perch? 295's in the rear.. Quarters rolled... Bottoming out

Are the rear isolators still in? If not, that is your problem. If they are still in, you can also wrap the top coils of the rear spring to space them up, or add a thicker isolator

I'd get rid of the eibachs. Put some BMR or Strano springs on her and it should raise you to where you wanna be. Could always do stock springs with the heater hose mod if that's still not enough.

Even if you have an isolator in the rear you could still do the heater hose mod on top of that to get the desired lift
