3. L and R spring spacers
4. possible L and R springs
I believe the ride height problem for my car is due to the first two items.
I have bought two subframe bushings already
but for the trailing arm bushings do I need four for my car? One for each corner or two for each corner? Can I just install the rear two? Lastly, there seems to be two types of trailing arm bushings: regular L2006-27454 and with eccentric interior bushing L2006-16072. Which one should I get?
if anyone knows the link to detail trailing arm bushings replacement it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I would try adjusting the level valve control rod to see if you can get any additional height out of the car. When it fails you will see your car sagging a lot more than usual. The linkage is attached to the rear sway bar.
