Default trick to raise the rear up even higher?

I'm on koni yellows and ground controls, and with them set up to its highest setting, the rear is still not quite high enough for my slicks. The car kind of leans back. Is there anything I can do to raise the rear just a tad?

in addition to raising the coils, did you raise the perch on the shock body?

Highest setting, meaning you ran out of threads or meaning the spring is starting to preload? If the former, use the upper circlip location. If the latter, preload the springs more.

which koni yellows do you have? do they have 3 circlip settings, or 5?

when the car is jacked up, is the spring free, or is the perch adjusted all the way up?
