A few forum members have made spacers (or used the washer-stack method to elevate the front LCA rear bushing mounts (see build manual for reference). I haven't seen anyone mention their method of deciding what the mounting height should be, and it's not revealed in the manual.
My logic about this is to elevate it by the same amount as the front LCA bushing is located above "S" height. Since the upper aspect of the rear LCA mount fits, in the S, to the bottom of the mounting tab, it seems one should subtract that plus the thickness of the mounting tab from the total front S to R mounting hole span. So, it's [total front hole span - (tab thickness + rear control arm bushing housing mounting "wing" thickness)] = 0.33" thickness the spacer needs to be.
Anybody have any other view on this?
