Any ideas on getting an extra inch of ride height out of the rear of 501? She's a bit too low, Im almost positive its the DSM springs and struts, and those twist in coil spacers move around way too much. Any ideas would help, thx

That is your problem, the DSM specific rear springs are softer causing your car too sag. Get some H&R VR-4 specific springs and you will complain about the rear end being too high. Most cut off a spring

1G springs are lower in rear. I had a set. They were 1.5" in rear mixed with 2" for front that made it level until u hit a bump and rear would bottom out. I switched to H & R 1.5" vr4 springs and I love them.
