Gotcha. Didn't know there were multiple versions.

Yes I have the tapered version and are using the oem rubber lower mount. I tried raising the height today and i kept turning and turning and the car maybe went up 1/4 inch at most. How many times am I suppose to keep turning the perches to raise it about an inch? Looks like if I want to raise it an inch it'll come really close and run out of threads.
The rear isn't tucking any more but it's still too low for my preference. Maybe another half inch would be perfect. Rear is lower than the front currently.

Keep turning, you may have gotten the short spring version

Don't get too close to the end of the perch. That could make for a dangerous situation IMO.

Leave enough meat in there that they cant just buckle and come apart.

If you can't get the rear high enough for your liking, get it as high as it will safely go and lower the front to match.

Ok there seems to be an issue with the driver side rear. After raising the rear the driver side seems to be sitting lower, so I raised it a little more to the point it's almost out of threads. After getting it to be even I went to go for a test drive and every thing felt good but when I get out to take a look the driver side rear is tucked again like close to slammed.
For some reason when I loosen the 17mm bolt for the spring bucket on the driver side control arm I can't get it back to align to insert the bolt back in unless I jack it up by there but with the passenger side I have no problem without using the jack. It takes no effort for the passenger rear.
The car feels and handle great but something must be wrong and I don't know what?
