raising RS

Might be weird to some people but I want to raise my 92 RS a couple of inches. Anybody know how I can do that, or if it is possible? Is new shocks and struts the best I can do?

I have noticed my 92 sits lower than my 88, is that probably just from wear or are the designs different?

the 92 rs springs are junk. replace them with some z28 springs. did it on a friends 92 rs. before you couldn't get a finger between the top of the tire and the fenderwell. after installing the springs and settling, i can get 3 fingers now.

I used to feel Like that. I still think they look bad *** 1-2 inches higher than stock. Very agreesive. especially if the back is higher than the front.

I heard MOOG rear springs raise it 1.5-2.5 inches. You could also try spring spacers or what ever they are called. When I replaced my shocks, my rear end sat higher... Maybe try higher profile tires?
