Teeners, or Brain Trust if you prefer. While I have the engine out of the BB I would like to address the rear ride height if it’s fairly easy. The Koni’s came with the car, and the rear height is almost an inch lower than I would like it, although the shocks seem to be performing well. To me, it looks like I might be able to add spacers to the lower perch, if I can find some. Or am I not seeing the geometry correctly? If this would work, any idea where I can source the spacers?

It looks like the spring perch is adjustable. If so, the collar around the shock body has grooves and a snap ring that sets the height of the perch section. Move the ring and perch to a higher groove and raise the ride height.

Got a picture of the car's stance, as-is ? - I'm just curious where it sits now.
I have some spacers that I just took off of a set of Konis, but the engine is out and so I'm not sure where it's gonna sit or if I'm gonna like it. If I like it without the spacers, I might would part with mine. Attached thumbnail(s)
