rear is too low
My cars stance does not look right, back end looks too low and I want to raise it, so I did a search on air shocks and found out they are bad because they blow out the mounts. So I need to know what I have to do to get my back end to sit higher.
Thanks,
Joe

Your springs are shot and time for replacement. With stock wheels and tires you should have 2"+ of fender gap with tstock springs.

Is there any springs that would be higher than the stock height? I have dual exhaust and I plan on getting bigger tires so I think it'd be good to have it a little bit higher
What size tires do you have on there right now? You might actually gain the height you need just by swapping to a taller tire. Also, have you thought about lowering the front of the car like an inch or 2?

and I dont really want to lower to front because my exhaust would probably scrape. I just need to know if there is a heavier aftermarket spring. I was looking through a Jegs magazine and found these bags that adjust ride height and they're only $60. Anyone ever try these?

Would I just be able to get new springs at Advance or would I have to order something? Also, I do have longtubes and my mufflers are like right under the seats.
