Here's an update which might be helpful for the next guy. For the rears (on my car, YMMV obviously) I put 48mm of space between the bottom of the collar and the beginning of the first thread on the body which got it to a nice height. Slightly lower than stock. 27" from the floor to the top of the wheelwell opening with Radial T/A 255/60-15's.

For the fronts, I put the same 48mm amount in and it actually raised the ride height about half an inch.

Put in a fresh ball joint while I was in there:
