Anything can be lowered. To raise it and restore the factory ride/handling, replace the aftermarket springs/shocks with OEM ones.

If you look around in some classifieds you should be able to find people selling their stock suspension from their now lowered cars.

Depending on if they lowered the car on oem shocks, that may be the reason for the crappy handling. If you have a coupe, i would look into stock 99-00 Si springs. They lower about 0.5 inch from stock and matched with good dampers (Koni yellow or Tokico Illumina) handling should be nice for the street.
