looking to increase rake after eibach's installed...advice?
I installed the eibach pro spring kit a month ago on my '13 gt premium (no track pack) and love the new feel of them. The nose lift and dive is significantly reduced, and the body sway is significantly reduced as well.
However, i do miss the rake appearance. I am not a fan of levelled GT's really and prefer the raked look. Therefore is there a way i can add, say 1/2 " of height in the back and maintain the performance i've achieved with the new springs? I know nuthin about suspension so i hope this ain't a dumb question.

Possibly you could research the company Energy Suspension. I believe they sell spring seats/perches for the rear springs. Perhaps you could buy some that are 1/2 inch thicker.

Btw, a lil update. A small local shop known for mustang specialities installed some rear spring spacers that added about 1/2" to rear ride height. just noticeable enough for me.
Gives me a touch of rake, compensating for the levelled look I ended up with after installing the eibach pro kit. Also I am used to and happy with the ride on those springs now too
I'll take better pics when the rain stops

I didn't actually see them. he described them as polyuerothane. they sit on the spring perch. they were free to me except for the installation cost. I can ask him for a part reference.

Thanks, man. I'm probably looking for something around 1/4"-1/2", so any info would be cool. I did find some rubber ones that can be trimmed to the desired height sounds pretty interesting. I love the steeda sports but don't like the flat stance. A slight rake would be groovy. I believe these would be very easy to install.
