Default DMS is on

I got my DMS springs on today and it is sitting a little to low for my taste. It dropped it a full 2 inches in the front and almost none in the rear. I know it will settle in the rear so I am not really worried about that, i do wanna know if there is anything i can do to raise the front end back up about 1/2 of an inch. I have the stock 16s with 245/50/16 tires on now, when I put on my 17x9.5 in TT IIs on with 275/40/17 GS D3s on will it raise the car any?

I have seen some sort of rubber spacers you can insert inbetween the coils on some other post but not sure where they can be found.

I might have to give those a shot. I am going to wait until Monday or Tuesday to see how it looks with the new wheels and tires on it. Thanks nobr8k

If you do not mind and if you can, take some pics of now and take some after.

I would like to see and hear what happens.
