Default More stiffer rear springs?

I drive a 2000 civic ex and I put Tokico shocks/springs about 1.5 years ago... Now the set up is really low where to the rear fender is right above the tire... I occasionally have people in the back and then the fender is going over the tire, something I dont want because I also want to add a subwoofer and then itll just be more weight... Are there other springs I should look into that arent as soft? Or is there another alternative I can look into?

I'm guessing you have lowering spring? Look into coilover.

if ur gonna buy more springs u might as well get an adjustable set of coilover sleeves. if u problem is rubbing u could roll the fender lips.

You could get ground controls in pretty much any spring rate you want and getting stiffer springs might help. You still only need four of them though.

Yes I do have lowering springs... Would it be smart to put to put coil over sleeves on these shocks or is that dumb?

You'd be fine. Just get an appropriate spring rate.
