Very nice I remember now, those are the "C7" wheels. Makes sense now.
If I am able to get thicker spring pads, does anyone know if you can change them by just jackng up the rear? Or do I have to remove the spring?

You have to remove the spring. You can undo the lower control arm inboard pivot and leave the shock in place.
We have C7 package.. the first pic shows the ride height stock, with no rear spring pads at all.

I'm confused though, your car looks higher without spring pads. I'm looking to raise my car by installing thicker spring pads...

So i jacked up the rear of the car today, and I couldn't see the spring pad on top of the spring. There was still too much tension on the spring for it to come loose. Am I missing something, or do I have to remove the spring just to see what size pad i have?

update
SO, it turns out that my car came with the thinnest spring pads fromt he factory because it had "sport" suspension
Anyway, I am now running number 3 pads, and solved my problem! I'll post pics ASAP.
