Default Need help asap!!

hey guys i have a 2000 z28 and it has a eibach pro kit in the front and bmr springs in the rear. I'm looking to run a custom exhaust setup similar to a TSP true dual setup. the car is way to low for the roads around here and rubs pulling into my garage as it is. The way it sits there is no way i could go with this exhaust.... i love the lowered look but i allready have the exhaust and i need to raise it back up. i dont want to put the stock stuff back in so are there any recommendations for a set of springs that dont lower the front so much?? or maybe a spring and shock combo that would help bring it back up and inch or so..

coil overs, slp springs, heater hose mod on stock, i know there's other brands that dont lower as much (search, google) ... or get bmr's shock/spring spacers, that will get you at least .5 - 1" and you can stack them. or get that exhaust as close as you can to the floorboard. or angle into driveways and go wicked slow for speed bumps; lowering is a love+hate relationship

The cheapest will be the spacers. It will keep your current ride and handling, just raise you up the amount you need.

Is there a reason you need new springs and shocks? or just need a boost?

chevycrew... the reason i need the boost is i'm looking to run true duals and single chamber flowmasters and want to dump them before the axle. The car has about and inch and a half clearance now and with the duals on that will be almost gone
