How to raise rear end?

I've got an Eibach Pro Kit on my CL, and over the year and a half that the springs have been on, the rear set has settled to a point that I think is a little too low. Is there any way to bump on the rear springs .5 inch? Is there any kind of plate or spacer that coule be inserted at the top of the springs?

Or is my only option to buy CompTechs which don't suffer this problem?

Any ideas would be great.

Thanks

yes at an auto car parts store you can find rubber spacers that go between the coils...however if you go to koni yellows sport3 it'll allow for an adjustment up ward however you may not need to when i went to the koni yellow sp3 it raised my cars rear end 1/4 to 1/2 an inch 150$ea.

Yep, TypeR is correct...or you can get an official NASCAR spring rubber.

If you have stock shocks, the rear ones could be worn too.

You might want to talk to 4pumpedCL. I'm sure he could come up with something:

Thanks for the advice. Will check some auto stores after work. Does anyone know if this is something a PepBoys or similar store would have? Or do I have to go to a specialty automotive store?
