Default 96 Civic Sedan with Eibach PK springs - need to increase ride height

I've got a 96 Civic Sedan with Eibach ProKit springs and I love the way it handles. The problem is, I need more suspension travel and ride height so I can actually have 4 people in the car without grinding the tires into the wheelwells...

Does anyone know if I can use ground control parts to re-use my existing springs and simply raise them a bit? I would gladly just order a whole new set of springs and perches from ground control but I'm afraid they won't send me the correct spring rates to match my 5 year old pro-kit springs.

I was also thinking about using some 99 Civic Si springs I have laying around, but they're probably way too soft..

Opinions/suggestions?

Put real shocks in there - KYB AGX, Koni Yellows or Tokico Illuminas would be my choices - and you won't have that problem.

What do "shocks" have to do with ride height?
