Does anyone know where I can buy some adjustable rear spring platforms. These fit in the original spring position and I think were used on the DTM cars ?

DTM cars used rear coil overs. You can't use the OEM spring with a height adjustabel platform. You either need a matching ballon type spring like this (KW shown, but H&R is having similar designs)

or you use cylindrical springs, but you need th run very stiff spring rates otherwise springs get coilbound
