NEED TO RAISE MY CIVIC!!! HELP!!!!!
I desperately need to raise my car...
I found a parking spot with a steep hill (down)and the car scrapes in the front lip, middle and exhaust when going down.
I currently have eibach sportline springs with AGX shocks/struts. Would I be able to get coilovers only and raise the car a descent amount? What coil overs would you guys recomends??
I need to do this ASAP since I need to move into this spot soon. Thanks for any help.

Yes you can get coilovers and swap out your springs for coilovers and be able to drop it 0-4 inches. i have ground control and they are pretty cheap and decent.

Re:
yea ive gone through multiple spots and this is the best one ive found. i rather sacrifice the ride hight at this point than give up this hard to find spot.. I probably need to raise it to close to stock height. would coilovers allow me to do that?

Re: (Bense)
...Raise...Car? Sorry, I've never heard of this before. I've got some stock springs off my 93 hatch with 170k on them you can have for the $20 + price of shipping if you want them. Alot cheaper than some coilovers unless you go the eBay coilover route.
This is how the car sat when it was on the stock springs...
Looking for something like that?

No way, just justifying his reason for wanting one particular spot.

Re: (JDM_Ej)
just like go at it at acute angle and youll never scrape.
my car is pretty damn low and i never scrape
like almost go in the lot sideways and then when one wheel is up on the steep part turn your wheels and go straight

damn man you must be dumpp or be running super soft rates
if you do what i suggest youll be good, like i get my car places that i think i cant go, simply by going slow and creeping in at an angle

Haven't done any looking at the latest air bag setups have you? You wouldn't be thumbdowning if you actually did. Typical ignorant response I guess. Wasn't expecting much better I guess.

i live in ny and i have a 2.5" drop all around on my sol no problems here, you just gotta learn how to avoid potholes and speedbumps.. and for crap sakes instead of spending extra money on coilovers why not just use another route or park somewhere else? i guess that would make too much sense

I would just park it somewhere else or put the stock ones back on if you certainly HAVE to raise your car. I don't see any sense in spending hundreds of dollars on coilovers just so you can park your car in a certain spot. But it's your money, not mine.
