spacers for rear suspension

Dear Experts
After we fitted the RPM camber adjust top mounts we raised the front of Herman by about 1/2 inch
Unfashionable as it may seem I am happy with it being a bit higher than optimum ( the 3.5 motor is about 1/2 inch lower than the std 2.3) because it now doesn't foul my driveway- nor the hump in our multi storey carpark space near work

But it does mean that it is slightly down at the back- like a 2002
I would like to raise the rear
Are there some sort of spring cup spacers we can find somewhere

Thoughts please?
(We have std Alpina B6 suspension- after we ditched the KW coilovers as being far too rock hard for bumpy IOM roads- the KW were like concrete!)

Not sure on the b6 suspension but on some rear shocks the cup holding on the coilover is adjustable, other wise it would be longer springs try to space the spring out with a bit of tube and one of these
