Ultimately I ended up removing the Bilsteins and installing KW V2 coilovers. I would not waste time adding spacer plates on the Bilsteins since the reduced shock travel means you are constantly on the bump stops and ruins the ride quality of the car.

This was such a cool setup, and I've always been a fan of the cup kits from Bilstein for decades with the inverted Mono Tubes! I have just purchased a "new to me car" and the previous owner has buggered the suspension setup, using Koni Orange (not to be used with lowering springs) paired to Sprint R (progressive) springs that seem to have collapsed, further and there is almost no visible tire both front and back. There is almost not rear travel, and at rebound, the car throws the occupants into the air.
Dangerous, and less than desirable.
I was hoping that that this was going to be the solution!
