Question Help, I need a lift!

Ok, here's the story. My car has a lowering kit on it that drops it an inch or so. Couple of weeks ago I broke my torque arm and snapped my drive shaft at the track. I replaced the saft and installed a BMR torque arm with a cross member so I would not have to reconnect the torque arm to the transmission. The cross member has a dip in it to provide clearance for the exhaust. I now have about 2 inches of clearance under my car.

I'd like to keep my ride height for the drag strip but be able to raise my car a couple of inches for daily driving. Any recommendations?

Do you have the short torque arm that welds into the SFC's or a torque arm with torque arm relocation kit?

Keeping it low at the track is not the best for wieght transfer and all around suspension articulation. It sounds like a set of stock springs or a set of adjustable QA1's would suite you better than your current springs.

Ya, I see your point. I was considering something adjustable like and air assisted suspension. I'm hoping that will allow me to have the profile I want but adjust my hight as needed.
