Default Just curious, but is there any way to raise a car on springs/shocks?

As some may know, I'm currently at about 23.75" ground to fender, which is to say the least, low. I plan on eventually upgrading to a coilover system, but if i could raise it 1/2" I don't think I would need to. Is there anything a shop can do?

Default What shocks?

Bilsteins can be grooved to adjust the height.

Other shocks might require some sort of spacer between the lower perch and the shock or the perch and the spring.
