Default Raise Eibach Suspension Height

I'm running a 255/30R20 up front on a 9" rim. Fills out the wheel well very nicely, and I've rolled the fender lips and removed the top two screws and trimmed the liner, it's almost rub free, but I figure if I could raise the front slightly, I'd be golden. I like the EIbachs, and I'm not keen on spending $1,800 right now on KW's. Does anyone know of any kind of spring plate/shim available for the Crossfire to tune the suspension height?

For rise suspension you can use this: http://www.redmars.pl/pol_pl_Guma-po...210-1114_6.jpg (different sizes/heights for Crossfire or SLK)

There is a series of "Spring Pad"s n 4 mm increments, for the front and the rear. They are identified by a set of raised bumps on one end.
"1 dot" through "4 dot".

They fit between the top of a spring and the top spring perch, fine-tuning the ride height.

Their original purpose was to offset sag from older springs.

Search for "R170 Spring Pads".

We have spacers nr3, 13mm in our Xfires.
Now I put nr1, 5mm. Car is little lower.
This is very good idea with spacers for springs. We can change height car about 15-20mm on front and rear.
