Default Koni/GC rear spring length question

I just installed Koni yellows with GC Baby sleeves on my DA. The previous owner had the off the shelf GC setup on the car already so I reused the springs. Both springs are of the 7" variety in 350/250 rates. I did some reading and found out that the GC deal in the sponsor forum comes with 8" front, 7" rear. However on my car's rear, even with the perch all the way at the very top of the sleeve, the car is slammed. I have no adjustability left to get it any higher. Can someone confirm that it's supposed to use a 7" in the rear? Seems like 8" might make more sense but I figured I'd ask to be sure before I ordered new ones.

My GC kit had 7" springs in the back, 8" in the front. The longer threaded sleeves go in the back though, with the shorter in the front. Thats on a DC2 though, not a DA...

Hmmm.. I do have the sleeves in the right spot.. long one in the rear, shorter ones in the front. But the rear is slammed. I'll have to take the springs off and measure them..

call them up and ask. They gave me 7 front and 6.5 rears. SOOOOOOO, call them up. I am currently running 7 front and 7 rear. I'm saving the 6.5 for autox, why? because its 550 lb and too bouncy for the streets y0!
