Default Suspension too low

Ever since i went from my old coilovers to drag springs, the car has been too low in the front. I have to let out out of the slicks just to drive it. This is fine, but with my weight in it, its just enough to barely clear the tire. I know the first time I brake hard, the fender is going to tear them up. Could I just get some adjusters from any old coil over and use it on these? Anyone know who sells them?

jensen beach fla. nice. i lived in stuart for a little bit.

what springs are they specifically? if you just use an adjustable collar, you may get height out of them but you do that at the expense or spring rate.

neuspeed drag springs. I know that the spring rate will suffer some, but I figure thats better than shredding a tire. Can you get rubber spacers? Is is safe?
