Default Has anyone installed strut spacers?

My '06 LS430 is sitting visibly lower in the rear than in the front. I had new struts installed less than two years ago, but the coils are original equipment.

I'm considering, instead of buying new coil springs, just installing strut spacers to get the rear riding at the same height as the front suspension. Has anyone else here done this before? I'm not looking for how-to instructions. This would be a pretty easy install. I just want to know if anyone else has rear springs that are making the car appear to sit lower in the back.

I have the same issue but mine is UL on air, I have a data systems controller coming in trying to fix this.

Are there even any spacers made for this car? You could get a set of coilovers.

As a matter of fact, there are. But so far I've only found a 30mm spacer for the rear struts. I'm only looking for about 15mm extra height.
