For the W123, there are four spacers: 8mm, 13mm, 18mm, and 23mm.
Each serves to increase or decrease the height of the body.
On the rear of the SDL, the ratio was about 2.0:1. This means that if you change from an 8 to a 13 mm spacer, you would raise the body by twice the difference (10 mm). However, I don't know if the 2.0:1 ratio will hold on the W123. So, if you want to lower the height in the front, you need a thinner spacer than what you are currently using. If you are looking for a big change (about 1" or so), you probably need to jump two sizes.
