Default How to raise car off ground???

I need help on this one guys. I cant drive over a speed bump or any inclined road for that matter without scrapping my muffler wich leads me to belive my car is sitting to low? How do I raise it about 1 inch or 1 1/2 inches off the ground?

I dont know? I t doesnt look like it because Its lowered preety low I mean if there is even the smallest speed bump it scrapes and has put a whole in my muffler because of it. I have heard spacers in the rear wheels help raise it what do you think?

If the car was lowered to begin with then just reinstall the stock springs like said above...if the car is sitting to low with no modification check for a broken spring some times they break usually its noticeable but you never know if thats not the case. check your muffler it could be hanging to low under the car...sounds like you just need to reinstall the stock springs and your will be ok

sorry about that, that's what I meant. If you have the stock springs, then you would reinstall them. +1 about a broken spring or some like to cut the stock springs to lower them, it's a cheaper route. Could get your car on a lift, loosen the stock exhuast and see if you can push it up and then retighten the bolts. that could help. What's the fender to tire gap as she sits right now?
If you don't have the stock springs to install or the stockers are broken/been cut, let me know. I might have some spacers from Steeda that will raise it about 1/2 that i can send to you for free.
