Default Lowered Car Issues

My car was lowered 2" front and back when I bought it 2nd hand. Spindles look stock. What do I need to do to get back to stock height? Just get some stock springs?

If you are needed some stock springs, I believe I still have mine sitting around in my parents basement, shoot me a pm if you are interested.

Call LG Motorsports and get the blue polyurethane spacers. Get 4 (2 each side) it'll lift you almost a 1/2". I did this when my LG Super Springs lowered me too much. They're great and they look like new after 5 years.
