Default 2nd thoughts about my suspension

I just put new Tokico Illumina, skunk adjuster, and neuspeed race (2"front 1.75"rear) springs on my 01 gsr. I have to say it looks really good but... I like to drive the car and I think its a little too low for me. I have to be careful or it seems to bottom out. Im not scraping the oil pan or anything, it just seems like there isn't a lot of space between the coils of the spring to any up and down travel. I have adjusted the firmness of the shocks and the tighter the better but its still not good enough.

What to do??? raise it? different springs? which ones? Open for Ideas

You could either get taller springs or stiffer springs. IMO, I would go with taller springs due to the fact that stiffer springs may cause your shocks to blow out.
