eibach springs w/SLS shocks???

Hello all, I was poking around my car and noticed that it still has most, if not all of the SLS parts on it except for the springs that clearly have eibach and a #2508.002 My problem is the car sits slightly lower in the rear than the front. Will some bilstiens out back raise the rear or an adjustment to the SLS valve arm. What do you guys who know think?

Just as an update I did some Self Leveling Suspension searches and learned how the system works. I was able to raise the rear of the car and so far so good. The ride feels better than ever and I have my slight rake to the car that I wanted. Now I think I'll change the fluid and service the system best I can since I'm sure it's never been done. I also replaced the swaybar end links while back there and the mystery knock noise is gone.

I have no doubts over the effectiveness of self-levelling..I have heard of different types of self-levelling suspension over the years, and have always been mildly interested in the possibility of fitting it to my car. I see you've chosen eibach,my friend used COFAP parts and he find it excellent..

When I bought the car the eibachs were already installed. Now that I changed the self levelling fluid and have it adjusted to where I like it, I would never dream of removing the system. It flat out works great for me and rides really, really good. All my components are in good working order and I suppose I'm lucky for that. The other night I did a not planned costco run with the kids and wife. Loaded the car down pretty good and when I started it up, up went the suspension right to where I like it.
