Hello all. Thinking of an Orca M30. Have some neck issues and the bars are kind of low to be really comfortable. I see lots of posts about lowering and removing spacers. Can spacers be added to raise the bar height? How much can the be raised? Thanks for any info

If you want a more upright position, that is the wrong bike to get. My recommendation is a more "endurance" type fit minimum. Also if you don't know what you need, do not get a proprietary stem bike, it just makes any changes costly and some impossible.
The integrated stem/handlebars are not made to be easily raised or flipped to raise the bars.
Second, for aerodynamics, Orbea would not have a chimney as the steerer to would be cut such that the stem cap is flush with the integrated handlebars, thus, you cannot shove some spacers underneath.
An "endurance" bike would have a greater stack, and many still come with the traditional stem, such that you can replace or flip the stem to increase the height of the bars, short of buying riser drop bars.
