what do you mean?

A. your car is lowered and you want to raise it back to stock?
B. your car is at stock height, and you want to make it higher?

get new springs if it's dropped or the stock ones sag. U can get those ghetto coil spacers if it's not dropped.

wow you wanna raise a del sol. Gonna put some 22's or something on it. Just drop it and call it a day a raised del sol would look like absolute ***. To lower just get a good set of coilovers and have at it.

first you have to decide how low do you wanna go me personally would go with some adjustable coilovers so you can raise and lower a couple of inches depending on driving conditions. But shop around for some coilovers and look for a good DIY write up and BAM your lowered.
