I didn't measure the difference in the rear but Bilstein Front Sport Shocks increased my ride height in the front by 1/8". I know this because I though the shocks had raised my front end an inch or so, it turns out that one of the front springs wasn’t seated correctly at the top. Since I had the shocks out while fixing the spring seating problem I measured the ride height (the Z dimension) with the shocks out and then with them in.

I agree KYB makes a great adjustable shock in many variations.
