Icon7 Raising vehicle back up?

So I bought a 2002 Honda Civic Si Hatch. The only thing I don't like on it is that it's is only about 3 inches off the ground up front. It gets really annoying. And this is after installing aftermarket lowering springs that were actually higher than the ones previously on it. How can I make it sit higher. I want it to be basically stock height, and also it has an aftermarket bumper on it. Maybe it's that also? I want it to be as stock as possible for the exterior. No body kit, and only the nice rims it has and the duckbill spoiler. Thanks for whoever replies

Buy coilovers so you can adjust the height, or put OEM springs back on it.


Sell or trade the bumper and replace it with an OEM bumper.


Seems simple enough.

Thanks i guess i just wanted to see if there was another way to do it. You guys are right, OEM suspension should do it!
And as far as the bumper goes, i think i will end up selling it

Thanks

I know. I have a 94 civic that's lowered, it looks good and I like that one like that. But this 02 Civic I just bought from a dealership. It looks brand new, and the only defect is a small chip in the paint about the size of the tip of a pencil on the skirt. That and the body kit. I want to keep this one as OEM as possible and throw some JDM style on it.
