1 inch from Eibach with the studs already in. I had to grind the stock studs about a 1/4 of an inch so the spacer would sit flat against the hub. I am thinking of switching to GT brakes and he would take my Mach brakes. Not sure yet.

If you leaving just slightly wheels up I would just leave it as is. You suspension seems to be up to the task and I dont think your going to obtain any marginal gains by doing the suspension swap.

Its time for more power.

Yes, I think you have nailed it. I think I do need a bit more power as sometimes after it lifts the wheels it falls flat on its face and takes forever (it seems) to get it going again. Seems like it is boggin after the wheels come down. I am switching to a 4.30 gear from a 4.10 and hope that solves the problem. Thanks for your comments.
