ride height

i have h&r springs installed on my car and it seems too low for the CARS liking(i like the way it looks), since the bodykit suffers quite a bit in driveways. i was just wondering if there is any way that i could increase the height just a little bit. pads maybe? where could i buy these? i have 20 inch wheels on my car.

First, your wheels are very large, and you will loose ride quality right there.

Second, springs, iam sure have settings that can be changed to increase the height.

Lowered cars look very cool, but driving them is not fun in most cases.

If I remember correctly H&R springs can be adjusted for ride hights contact a MB shop and ask them if they can do anything about it. You ridin SPINNERS?? Even if they arent spinners I have to salute you for the 20 inch rims.

not spinners. brabus mono III modular. i have to check what number pads the front spring has, if it has less than four, then i can raise the car a little bit heigher. i dont have to worry bout the rear coz it has self-leveling.
