. 5mm spacers went below the piston. As I really like the look, I did the same to the front dampers, but with 3.5mm below the piston and a 2mm ride height clamp. The car has 6mm clearance and can still drop the suspension a little bit. The springs have enough space and are not compressed in a negative way.
What kind of spacer are you using under the piston? I'd be worried it could scratch the shaft.
