Ride height....again?

Hey guys. Pretty new. Have a 97 coupe with f45 deleted. Bilstein sports and Hotchkis sways. Stock rims/tires. I have about 1/2 inch of rear ride height bolt left (never adjusted). Well she sits high. Fender heights from level surface:

FR 27 9/16 inches
FL 27 9/16 inches
RR 28 3/4 inches
RL 28 9/16 inches

I am wondering if taking it down to lowest self ride height will solve this or if I should get lowering bolts. No spindles or coils please.

Last read: lowering base f45 springs past .5 inch was not good.

So any f45 deleted Bilstein guys have success stories, different leaf springs?

Thanks

The car is perfectly neutral in the corners and handles very well. This is a track car and it's not driven on the street.
