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.
