What problems? It is a self-levelling suspension designed to make hundreds of computer calculations resulting in ride height adjustments in real time all day long.
By giving it a 5mm washer and thus effectively shifting the base line, you are not going to overload the computer with too much math! You've spent the money and you are happy with the outcome, good luck to you.
Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best, though.

Sweet BALDMIKE73! Thx for the contact info. I just picked up the car, and it looks just right. Not too low, but definitely aggressive. I will take pics tomorrow and post them. Thanks for all of the input guys!
