My experiences with the springs are such that the change in height of the vehicle will be 2.0 to 2.5 X the change in height at the spring, due to the geometry of the suspension.
So, if you make a 5mm change in pad thickness, you'll get about 1/2" increased height. The size that would be best would be dependent on what you currently have. If you are fortunate to have the 8mm pad, you could go to the 18mm pad and obtain about 1" of increased height.
If you already have the 18mm pad, well...................
