I have to raise the rear height on mine by 1/4" this weekend. Last weekend I replaced my suspension bushings, and they look to have settled.
As for the slammed look, I found that stock Bilsteins have rubber snubbers that will make the car bob up and down like a ricer. If the spindles have been raised, that won't be a problem. I cut my snubbers down by half to allow travel inside the shock, but protect the valves in the event of a huge pothole.
If you are going to significantly change the rear ride height, you may need a ride height wrench to even out the left and right sides, and a 12mm allen wrench to adjust toe and camber.

I never was low enought to hit the stoppers.
I have the Sway-Away adjustable spring plates, which are great for height changes, but mine had to go up enough to respline this go around.
