Best bet? Custom springs. Tein may be able to accommodate you. You may need to call them direct. Or you can try and find the specs of the H Tech front and rears, and place a custom order from there. You will want a higher spring rate, and a taller coil.

I don't have my Tein catalogue in front of me here, so I can't help you out much more than that.

You will also need longer travel struts and rear shocks. Myabe even longer brake lines and spacers for the front sway bar to relocate it farther down and keep it in-line with the axle center line. It might also speed up front CV joint wear. Sounds like a can of worms not worth the extra ground clearance. IMO

My bodykit made my car lower by 2 inches or so which makes me keep scraping the ground. All i need is 2 inches back up and I am good to go so when I dip or go to a curb i don't scratch my kit. Body kit that is.

The wheelwell gap is going to be crazy large. You'd prolly be better of with a body kit that is better engineered. Most the ones I've seen don't hang any lower than the stock pieces.
