Default Coilover Question

Greetings,

I have a questions about my coilovers. I installed CXRacing coilovers (12kg front / 8kg rear) on my SC over the summer. The ride is nice; however, the car is too low for my liking. This is even with the height adjusted at the highest setting (bottom threads at the bottom of the peep hole). My question is will switching to a different set of springs, like Swift, raise my car? I'm only looking for 1/4" to 1/2"more of clearance.

Thanks.

I think switching spring would only change the stiffness of the springs, but I guess a harder spring woundnt give as much and the car might not sag as much. Ride quality would prob be ****ty though

Hey post a picture of your car with it at the highest setting. I'm buying these coilovers in a couple weeks and want to make sure they're not too low.
