all of the coilovers i have come across lower your car like half an inch at minimum... you wouldn't want to use longer springs alone because your stock shocks likely wouldn't extend....

why are you doing this?

edit: ok I was wrong about coilovers.

No idea why you'd want to do this unless...

you're not trying to get 22's under a civic, are you?

if you raise it the wheels will tuck way behind the fenders, it will suck. It's going to be like driving a bike and trying to balance it. Need bigger springs (have fun getting that), bigger shocks have fun getting that, and bigger control arms have fun getting that, and bigger axles. Stupid idea.

I'm not sure but I think I might have read somewhere that on the highest notch omni full coilovers are higher then stock. I think you can raise them but I don't know forsure.

guys, maybe he has a reason for this, like swappin a heavier engine with a turbo in and keep stock height. Note, you may want a helms manual, cause you're gonna need liek washers or some **** to keep your camber right.
