Default Quick question about coilovers

So I've been doing research about coilovers and I'm looking at the rsr or bc br coils.

My question is, are there coilovers that don't lower the car? I find stock height to be plenty low as I scrape the bottom of my bumper quite often. This is also why I haven't added a lip to the front. Also if you're selling either of those coilovers let me know. Thanks!

That would defeat the purpose then if you dont want to lower the vehicle.


What are you looking for? Stiffer ride and better handling? Just upgrade your shocks only then.

I'm looking for stiffer around turns and better handling. I didn't know I could just replace the coils. I just don't like scraping on the ground.

If you are concerned about body roll in turns look into aftermarket sway bars.

I have fsport springs, and shocks. They are pricey if you can't find a discount or know someone. Retails 1k+ for the set.

Handling is stiffer, more confident in throwing the car in corners. Slightly lowered. ~1in all around.
