I did find a pretty neat device that works with coilover springs that will raise a lowered car up without effecting the spring rate or anything else. They are kind of pricy and are mostly used on exotic cars like Lambo's, Ferrari's, etc...

It's from a Japanese company called Roberuta and it's called the Roberuta Cup. It just a little cup that sits on the shock and when filled with air it will raise the car.





As you can see, it is a nice design, but the stroke is pretty short. It does give low cars an unfair advantage, though. It's just too expensive and height limited for my use, but I thought you guys should know about them.

Check out Slammed1500. He's the only hardcore guy I know here with a full custom setup with wheel tubs front and rear to set it on the ground. Just awesome.
