How thick are the spacers that SLP installed on the SS cars?

And because of their location, one would have to raise the rear of the car MORE than the thickness of the spacer to maintain the same travel as before the spacer. Isn't that correct?

I don't see why you would want to take travel out even after raising the rear of the car. Why not just take the extra suspension travel.

As far as raising the rear of the car take this into account. When I first got my GC coilovers in the front I ran the car very low in front (25 3/4" if memory serves me) and in the back I just pulled the isolators; had a 35 solid bar in front and 21 solid in back. The car had tons of grip and turned very well, but the rear was a little snappy and I think it was from the tall CG in the back and the low one in front.
