I know that this is not the "approved" way to increase ride height but I used the rubber doughnut style spring spacer to get to the correct ride height on my 9-5 Aero. I drilled through them and tie wrapped them around one of the coils in the spring to keep them from popping out at full droop. They are generally made for larger OD springs that the rears so I drilled and trimmed them to fit. I was able to get back to OEM ride height by using one in each rear spring and two per side in the front. I had serious misalignment issues and ate up a very expensive tire on a long trip. If you don't have the time to disassemble the strut assemblies, this would be a quick fix. I like it so far. Total cost was about $8 each on one of the web retailers. Plus zip ties.
