Default Rear Coil overs

Can use some help, the rear drivers side is about a 1/4 inch lower than the right,
the CCX was built in 1997, anyone know what coil overs were used? what size spanner wrench can be used? The rims are the 15" Vintage wheels pin drive with the Goodyear Eagle billboard tires, the fronts are fine but getting rubbing in the rear fender wells (left side). I think by leveling the rear will solve the issue.
Also will the alignment need to be done?
Thank you in advance for any help.

How are you measuring that 1/4" difference in the rear? Do you realize that the body is not perfectly symmetric? Heights should be measured on the chassis, not the body, and any l/r difference should show up at both ends of the car.

I hzd the same issue when i switched my current car to Vintage Wheels. I bought Alden Eagle coil overs and adjusted the rear end about 1 inch higher than before. All rubbing is gone and the car handles better at the high end.
