Default Race spring/coil over question with pics

I am trying to bring this gap at a snug 2 finger gap to match the rear. I have Bilstein adjustables (exact same thing as coil overs) Currently I am at the standard point of where a normal shock would come. I have the ability to lower the perch tho. I wanted to get some opinions so I can reduce the "trial and error" of adjusting the perches. So my question is. Would lowing the perch about an inch bring me to where I want to be?

Yea its the reiger. It wasn't bad i used a rivot gun and packed it with that stuff they sell at home dept that comes in a aersol can. When you spray it out it expands.. Its like a orange color... I can't remember the name of it. Anyways I packed that stuff in the gaps and around the rebar for added rigidity. When I change my timing belt again, I might trade my RS4 bumber for an S4 bumber.. I dunno I just like changing it up sometimes..

Thank you for the comments hopefully pics by this weekend!
