I just measured my old softer springs and they are about 9 7/8" - 10" high if that helps also they are 15mm thick. When you say you have them adjusted to the last thread I'm assuming you mean all the way up to the top of the threaded post. With the softer springs I had mine adjusted all the way down the threaded post almost to the point I was worried they might come off and that didn't stop it from bottoming out. So while in theory it may raise the car you also have softer springs which bring the car back down. When I put the new ones on I screwed the spanner nut up 7 full revolutions as a starting point and put everything back together which turned out to be the perfect height. That is where they stayed, I lucked out. No more adjustment needed.
