Default installed eibach sportline on kyb 5 way struts. CAR IS TO LOW any fix

I know I could look at buying a new setup but don't really want to. Does anyone know of a product that could lift the car about 1-1.5". It is on a 98 civic coupe

lolwut.

sportlines should only lower the car 1.8" F and R...so, you want it raised 1-1.5" you would have a car lowered .3 to .8"!

even a pro-kit, which is VERY subtle, is 1.5 F and 1.3 R and i've never met anyone who thinks a pro-kit is too low (great product)

sounds like you either did something wrong (unlikely) or need a different product (likely). i know you don't want to, but anything you stick in there, ie said spacers, etc, will affect the intended performance and, honestly, if you think 1.8" is too low those rates are probably going to be frustrating too.

Sportlines should not flush the tires like that...
