ReSpeed "Rear Coil Over Kit" specs and pics?

Can anybody get me the measurements off the coil overs? Also would like some pics of them installed to see how they set if anyone has some. I have some adjustable coil spring spacers and wanted to see how the ReSpeed ones fit and the dimensions of them.

They sit on top of the rear spring, but it's not the stock spring, obviously. It's a pretty basic concept. They are substantially larger than any coil spring adjuster for the front of a car.

I know where they sit and the basic concept. I wanted to see how far they ride up on the upper spring perches. The adjusters I have are for fullsize 5" OD springs. I have lowering springs on there now and want to be able to adjust my corners as needed, since I have coilovers on the front.

Does anyone know where to get spacers or taller springs? I want to lift my rear about .5" and my coilovers are almost fully adjusted.

Pretty much anyplace that sells racing or performance parts, jegs, summit, speed shops, speedway motors. Just figure out how tall yours are, spring rate, and of course diameter. Im assuming 5.0" O.D. You may just have to some looking at several companies until you find a short enough spring in your current rate.

You may could even add another spring isolater to get that .5".
